In Cantal, people started playing Tennis, at the beginning of the last century.
The Aurillac Club was set up in 1927. Its president was Mr Mary. In Vic-sur-Cère, not far from Aurillac, clay courts opened in 1936.
At that time, upper middle class people played tennis a lot.When they came to Vic-sur-Cère, they used to put up at the Grand Hôtel, belonging to the Orleans railway company.
