Jeu de Paume originally meant a kind of tennis game played without racquets.
Now it means a tennis game or place where tennis is played, i.e., tennis court.
It was probably a tennis court for Louis XIV but I am not certain about this.
However, The Jeu de Paume in Paris is a museum located next to The Louvre.
Until recently, it exhibited Impressionist paintings. The paintings are now at
Orsay across the Seine and The Jeu de Paume shows more varied exhibits.

Tennis originated from a 12th century French game called paume (meaning palm); it was a court game where the ball was struck with the hand. Paume evolved into jeu de paume and rackets were used.
