Longue paume

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Longue paume is an outdoor version of jeu de paume, an ancestor of modern lawn tennis. Hundreds of years ago it was quite popular, particularly in France. It was part of the Paris 1900 Summer Olympics, but its medal status is disputed. Today, the sport is played regionally in Picardie. The governing body of the sport is the Fédération Française de Longue Paume headquartered in Amiens.
