A new court was opened by subscription of active tennis players in 1840, but only lasted until 1861 as it was closed in order to build the Opéra Garnier.

[3] Emperor Napoleon III granted the members to rebuild at the Tuileries Garden facing the Place de la Concorde, with construction taking just under a year and costing 200,000 Francs.

However, the lease of the court was not renewed by the French Third Republic, with the building converted into a museum, closing to real tennis in 1907.

[8] Etchebaster challenged Fred Covey for the Real Tennis World Championship in 1927 at Prince's Club, London.

[10] During the Vichy government in Paris during World War II, real tennis activities ceased again, and in the following years the club was mostly frequented by British and American expatriates playing squash.

[12] For the club's centenary in 2008, the women's changing room was relocated enabling an expansion to the bar and installation of a glass wall on the no.

It was won by defending champions Robert Fahey and Steve Virgona, their last victory together as a pair.

In 2018, the club was visited by Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex as part of his tour of all active real tennis courts in the world.

[13] The premier real tennis tournament at the club for amateurs and professionals is the French Open, attracting the best players from around the world.

[14] For French amateurs real tennis players, the marquee event is the Raquette d'Or, first established in 1899 and held annually since.

More recently, the club has hosted the Coupe de Thélème, an international third division Open tournament.
