Just to the southeast of the château is the Jeu de Paume court (on the tiny Rue Jeu de Paume), one of the only remaining royal “real tennis” courts left in France. This is where the Third Estate gathered in June 1789 to write up a constitution declaring the Universal Rights of Man – the birth of the French Revolution. It’s open to visitors on weekends, April to October, 12:30 to 6:30pm.
