What is Longue paume?
'''Longue paume''' is an outdoor version of [[jeu de paume]] and therefore an [[ancestor]] of modern [[tennis|lawn tennis]]. Hundreds of years ago it was quite popular, particularly in [[France]]. It was part of the [[Paris]] [[1900 Summer Olympics]], but not all think that the [[medal]]s that were awarded for longue paume at that Olympics have full value. Today, the sport is played regionally in [[Picardie]]. The governing body of the sport is the ''Fédération Française de Longue Paume'' with its headquarter in [[Amiens]]. ==Other websites== * [http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jf.tricoire/Longue_Paume/EPS-LPpremiere.htm Connaissez-vous la Longue Paume?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050320131307/http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jf.tricoire/Longue_Paume/EPS-LPpremiere.htm |date=2005-03-20 }} * [http://www.chez.com/tertous/longue%20paume/paume.html Ligue de Picardie de Longue Paume] {{sport-stub}} [[Category:Handball]]
