  • Yes! In fact, we have several solo players joining us already (both male and female), so you’ll be in good company! Not to mention you’ll leave with plenty of new friends.

    Our price is based on double occupancy. If you prefer a single occupancy arrangement, there's an additional charge of $600 to secure your own room to yourself.

  • Absolutely! For partners not participating in pickleball, we offer an adjusted package at a reduced price, including all other amenities and activities.

    This allows them to enjoy their mornings exploring Nice or relaxing while you hit the courts. Our travel partner - Académie des Arts de Vivre - can even organize additional excursions, ensuring both of you have an unforgettable experience.

  • For our American guests, the journey to Nice typically involves an international flight to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE).

    Major U.S. cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago often have direct flights or ones with a single stopover in major European hubs like Paris, London or Geneva. If arriving from France, there are ample direct flights to Nice.

    The TGV train from Paris to Nice is also a convenient option if you’re planning to be in Paris prior to our trip together.

    Upon landing in Nice, you'll find it's a convenient and scenic drive to the heart of the city. It is our delight to offer you a chauffeured transfer to whisk you from the airport directly to your hotel.

  • Our travel experts will make your trip planning a breeze. Contact us directly for general help or to connect with our trusted travel partner AAV for extended European adventures either before or after Pickleball de France.

    Cancellations received between the date of booking and 91 days prior to arrival will be refunded 50% of the deposit.

    • 90-61 days prior to arrival: 50% payment of the full trip price

    • 60-46 days prior to arrival: 75% payment of the full trip price
