The Jeu de Paume de Paris also known as the Société Sportive du Jeu de Paume et de Racquets is a real tennis and squash private members' club on Rue Lauriston in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It is one of three active real tennis courts in France, and the only one remaining in Paris. The current club was built in 1908 having relocated from the court in the Tuileries Garden, the latter converted into an art gallery. Initially built as two real tennis courts, the northern court was converted into four squash courts in 1927. The club hosted the real tennis World Doubles Championships in 2013 and the real tennis Women's World Championships in 2005 and 2013. It has hosted the real tennis French Open annually since 1992, one of the four major national Opens for the sport.
