Since the end of the year, taking advantage of the development of padel in France, Sébastien Duro, the president of the tennis section of Biarritz Olympique, has repaired an anomaly by allowing the inauguration of two fully lit padel courts.

Padel, so popular a few kilometers away, just after the border, had not found its place in the French Basque Country. Only the city of Guethary offered padel until then. But it is too little for a region like the Basque Country.

The project was fully funded by the city of Biarritz. Sébastien Duro's goal is to attract more and more padel addicts and even a new audience because as he says this sport “is accessible to all and easily walkable. Once the benchmarks are taken, we have fun very quickly".

 Little by little, padel is gaining more ground every day. Riding on this rapid growth, the BO is thinking of organizing tournaments from spring 2019 and will launch an offer of individual and group lessons.
