Where to play padel in Normandy

Several clubs, all covered, from the Seine quays to the northern plateau. This is where Buddiz has the most padel sessions in Normandy.
Caen and its outskirts
The widest choice of centres in the region, covered and outdoor, around Caen and in the neighbouring towns.
Le Havre and the Côte Fleurie
Courts in Le Havre and around Deauville, to play after a day at the sea.
Évreux and the Eure
Centres around Évreux and in the Seine valley, between Rouen and Paris.
Cherbourg and the Cotentin
A covered centre in Cherbourg, handy when the wind blows across the peninsula.
How is padel played?
Four players, doubles, on a 20 by 10 metre court enclosed by glass walls and mesh. The walls are part of the game, the serve is underarm and points are scored as in tennis. You can rally from your first game, even if you've never held a racket.
Getting started
Covered courts can be played all year, outdoor courts mostly from April to October. Wear shoes with suitable soles (artificial grass is slippery), warm up your shoulders, and play with partners at your level: games last longer and are more fun.
