There are photos and paintings, and films shown on plasma screens. Discover legendary figures of French tennis such as Suzanne Lenglen or the Musketeers, whose matches are accompanied by hitherto unpublished reports.

A multimedia library: from the first stroke of real tennis up to the latest publications (books and magazines, the latest posters…), all of these works and illustrations may be consulted on site. An educational workshop: an activity area for young children (on demand only).
