During the French Open of Padel 2019 - International Mixed Tournament of Padel, Place du Capitole in Toulouse, we realized how attractive the night session matches could be.
First, on one of the most beautiful French squares, of course, with the lights and the setting, we couldn't have dreamed of anything better. An ideal temperature and above all an incredible crowd. We've certainly never seen anything like it. Several thousand people gathered around the central court to discover and admire the champions during this international padel tournament.
The crowd was at the rendezvous and she asks for more.
Géraldine discovers the pink city for the first time. This Parisian said to herself "impressed by the beauty of this sport"... irony of the story, it took her to go to the Capitol Square in Toulouse to discover the sport and go test this sport"upon his return to Paris".
Because this is certainly the main victory of the French Padel Open: to introduce this sport and create new players.
The success is such that the Mayor of Toulouse, Jean-Luc Moudenc has already filed an option for the next edition of the French Padel Open, for an event that he considers “as one of the most successful on Capitol Square ".

Franck Binisti discovered padel at the Club des Pyramides in 2009 in the Paris region. Since then, padel has been part of his life. You often see him touring France to cover major French padel events.
