The Open International de Squash de Nantes is an annual international squash tournament for professional players, held in Nantes in France in September. It is part of the PSA World Tour. The event was first held in 2015 in Le Lieu Unique.
The very first edition held at Le Lieu Unique in 2015 was also held in the Badmin'Squash club in Rezé during the qualification phase. Since 2016, the qualification phase and 1st rounds have been held in La Maison du Squash club in Sautron.
The competition has evolved since its beginning. It only hosted a men's competition in the first edition. From 2016, it included, for the first time, a female competition.
In 2019, the name of the competition changed to Open de France to include the most important tournaments of the PSA World Tour.
This event connects culture and sport by featuring squash through a glass court located in an emblematic place of Nantes and by invited artists around Nantes' culture. The competition incorporates various elements, such as the event poster, teaser, match introductions, DJs, musicians, dancers, and the competition trophy, all of which contribute to giving the competition a unique character.
The competition stands out in particular by the choice of unusual places hosting its events.
