Ultimate Roland-Garros Travel Guide
By Tennis Travel Team
The French Open at Roland-Garros is one of tennis's most prestigious Grand Slam events. Here's your complete guide to making the most of your tennis pilgrimage to Paris.
When to Visit
The tournament typically runs from late May to early June. Book accommodations at least 6 months in advance as Paris fills up quickly during this period.
Getting Tickets
Tickets go on sale in March. The Philippe-Chatrier court offers the best experience with its retractable roof and atmosphere. Grounds passes give you access to outer courts and the vibrant festival atmosphere.
Where to Stay
The 16th arrondissement near the stadium offers the most convenient location. For a luxury experience, consider hotels along the Champs-Élysées with easy metro access.
Beyond the Tournament
Paris offers countless public tennis courts. Join a local club for a pickup game, or take lessons at one of the city's many tennis academies. Don't miss the tennis shops in the Marais district for gear and souvenirs.
