Passionate and complementary founders

Behind Padel District, two entrepreneurs with different profiles but the same passion.

Timothy Paindavoine, originally from Lille, founded and managed the digital agency Kréalid, before selling it in 2023 to devote himself to this project. A long-time tennis player, he discovered padel more than ten years ago and today wishes to offer the metropolis a club that lives up to the local passion.

“Creating this club is a bit like our dream come true, the place where we’ve always dreamed of spending time,” says Timothée. “Being able to combine our passion for padel with creating a friendly place is a unique opportunity.”

His partner Maël Brochet discovered padel at Madrid, at only 17 years old. Inspired by the atmosphere of Spanish clubs, he decided to import this model to France.

"I'm very proud of this project, because it's the reward for hard work, but also a return to my roots. I want the people of Lille to benefit from my Spanish experience. We're going to do everything we can to make sure they have a great time, I promise you a dream padel club!" he declares enthusiastically.
