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.
