As of the 1st of July 2025 (Décret 2025-582), smoking has been banned outdoors for sports clubs (as well as indoors), including Private Member’s Clubs (this includes parks, beaches, public gardens, sports facilities, etc.). As an ERP (a business which welcomes the public), this, therefore, includes the outdoor spaces at the Club; i.e., it is not permitted to smoke between when you enter the Club front door and when you leave it again. The law is motivated by the health hazards of second-hand smoke, even in outdoor areas, particularly for children.

We have recently put up additional signage to raise awareness of this.

Thanks to everyone for your understanding and compliance.
