The Tennis Club de Paris can host working meetings for 4 to 100 people, cocktails, private evenings and garden parties for up to 150 guests, and sports tournaments built around its courts. Fashion shows, photo shoots and filming are also booked here. The club stands at 15 Avenue Félix d'Hérelle, in the 16th arrondissement, at the Porte de Saint-Cloud edge of Paris, close to the business districts of the west of the city.
Seminars and company events
The club sells four types of company event: sports trophies and team building, private evenings and receptions, working meetings, and shows or shoots. For a sports day, groups can book clay and Greenset tennis courts, padel courts, urban soccer pitches and badminton. A reception can follow in the restaurant or on its terraces.
Three rooms serve meetings. The Salon Coupe Davis, 100 square meters, seats 100 and has a large connected screen, a microphone, work tables and Wi-Fi. The Lounge, also 100 square meters, seats 70 and opens onto a private 40 square meter terrace above the garden and the courts. The Salon des Élus, a 27 square meter lounge with a work table, a sofa area, a coffee machine and a connected screen, suits a small committee.
Fashion houses have used the site for shows and shoots. The club's big glass-roofed gallery, about 4,000 square meters, is listed among its facilities.

Receptions are offered for up to 150 guests. The Salon Coupe Davis seats 100, the Lounge 70, and the Salon des Élus takes a small group. Outdoors, the gardens and green spaces can host a garden party, and the restaurant has 250 covers with two terraces. A private car park is available.
Catering
Le 1895, the club restaurant, is run by a team that includes former top-level athletes, led by Sébastien Rouault, a double European swimming champion. The kitchen focuses on fresh French produce. For events of 12 guests or more, private evenings, cocktails and garden parties are booked through the club's sales team, and a full meal service is available for groups of 10 or more on request. The restaurant serves tapas and sharing boards in the evening.
History and setting
The club was founded in 1895 by a group of friends from the École Polytechnique and was the first in France to have covered courts. The Four Musketeers, Borotra, Brugnon, Cochet and Lacoste, played here in the 1920s, and Jean Borotra later chaired the club. It moved to its present site in 1938, was largely destroyed by bombs aimed at the nearby Renault factories in 1943 and was rebuilt after the war. In 1970 the construction of the Paris ring road almost cut the site in two. The club also has a clubhouse with locker rooms and saunas.
Getting there
Porte de Saint-Cloud station on metro line 9 is the closest stop, and buses and taxis serve the same square. The club sits inside Paris, on the border with Boulogne-Billancourt, with quick road access from the ring road. It is open every day from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., including public holidays.
