Jeu de Paume

A small but dedicated group keeps "Court Tennis" alive in Paris at the Fontainebleau jeu de paume courts. The game is similar to tennis but described as a "quirky game of finesse and speed" that uses these amazing long indoor courts. Check out those handmade balls and antique guest book!
