Fouquet's Pickleball Club: a sporting experience in the courtyard of this luxury hotel this summer

Like padel, pickleball has become a fast-growing sport in recent years. Originating in the United States, this racket sport is played on a court the size of a badminton court, with a slightly lower tennis net, a perforated plastic ball and a sturdy racket. At theHôtel Barrière Fouquet's Paris, pickleball is dressed up in luxury and set up in the courtyard of the Parisian luxury hotel, for a sporting interlude, for which you'll still have to pay 160 euros for an hour's play for two to four people.

Fouquet's Pickleball Club is here for the summer season, with a temporary orange-colored pickleball court open to hotel guests and non-residents alike, upon reservation, for games with friends, family or colleagues. During your session, far from a normal gym, you'll have access to ping-pong-like rackets and balls bearing the hotel's name, towels, bottles of water, and changing rooms at the hotel's Decorté spa.

After their game, players can extend the experience with lunch or dinner at the brasserie, or a drink at the hotel's rooftop bar.
