Stationery line Le jeu de paume - Château de Fontainebleau

" Impress the Gallery"; "Who goes hunting loses his place"; "Tomber à pic": coming from the world of the jeu de paume, these expressions that have passed into the French language testify to the importance of this activity in ancient times, which affected all strata of the population.
The palm game, and particularly the short palm game - played in a specific hall - had its heyday for about two hundred years, between the years 1450 and 1650. Each royal house housed one or more of them, notably at the Louvre, Vincennes, Compiègne or Saint-Germain. Nowadays, only the hall of Fontainebleau, built under Henri IV, is still devoted to this game, which is still practiced in a very small number of places. As cultural imprints, the Le Jeu de Paume stationery line for the Château de Fontainebleau, highlights some of the expressions, now popular, directly inherited from the practice of this royal game of the palm.
