Roland Garros Stadium

Always a good opportunity to spend a summer day in Roland Garros
Grab an ice cream, read a book, just remember to bring caps and sunscreen!
The queue is always very long to get in! So make sure to get there early.

Our visit to Roland Garros Stadium was a journey filled with unexpected twists, surprising discoveries, and unforgettable moments that left an indelible mark on us. As my wife and I arrived at the stadium's address on 2 Av. Gordon Bennett, 75016 Paris, France, we were initially struck by the charming exterior that resembled a flower shop. Little did we know, this was just the beginning of our unique experience.

Approaching the entrance, we were met with the information that the court's entrance was temporarily closed. Though initially disappointed, this setback turned into an opportunity as we stumbled upon an unlocked door at the back. Eager to explore, we seized the chance and stepped inside the hallowed grounds of Roland Garros Stadium.

The sight that greeted us was nothing short of enchanting. As we walked onto the court, we couldn't help but feel the weight of history beneath our feet. The covered seats seemed to whisper stories of legendary matches and iconic rivalries that had unfolded here. It was a privilege to be in the very space where tennis greats had once competed, where cheers echoed and emotions ran high.

The juxtaposition of our unexpected entry and the monumental significance of the location made our experience all the more meaningful. Standing on the court where historic battles took place, we could almost sense the spirit of competition that had infused the atmosphere. Despite not witnessing a live match, the magic of Roland Garros Stadium enveloped us in a way we hadn't anticipated.

Reflecting on our visit, from mistaking the exterior for a flower shop to stumbling upon the unlocked door that led us onto the court, we were reminded that life's surprises often lead to the most cherished memories. The friendly security guard, the architecture, and the sense of history woven into every corner of the venue added to the richness of our visit.

Taking all aspects into consideration — the unexpected journey, the unlocked door, the atmosphere of the court, and the storied history — I wholeheartedly bestow a five-star rating upon Roland Garros Stadium. Our experience, though not conventional, was one that we will forever hold close, a testament to the venue's allure and its ability to create lasting memories in even the most unexpected of circumstances.

Loved this place. A great stadium for tennis lovers. We took a tour but by mistake it happened to be in french. The guide was really nice to translate the highlights of the tour in english and made our day. A must visit place for tennis fans.

Everything is just perfect here. The atmosphere is thrilling. We are here with the whole family for the French Open for the first time. The process of purchasing the tickets was overwhelming & rather frustrating. Not only the waiting time but also once you are in the line, there is limitation of the tickets you can get as well as limited time to complete your purchase. Well, you get some experience after done it once.
The stadium itself is magical, it worth everything to come. There are three big counts, and many smaller side courts. You need to only get tickets for big ones and you can visit any of the smaller court any time. Night tickets are for one match at the Court Philippe Chatrier that plays at 20:45. You could enter as of 18:30, to watch matches play at side courts or visit their amazing boutiques. Day tickets you can enter as of 10 and stay for the whole day. There are many volunteers whom work here that ensure everything runs smoothly, and keeping the stadium very clean and organized. Love everything about it.

If you love tennis you have to go- the tour is telling you all you want to know...and more.Can you imagine coming out of the tunnel like the players? Unbelievable

Really nice venue and the atmosphere is great. It's like being in Disney world but about everything related to tennis 🎾. There are plenty of options to eat inside, but the price is a little bit expensive. Bring your food from outside.

Amazing space
If you can get to the restaurant at the presidential tribune do it! It's worth the time and $
Beside that enjoy the walk 🎾

Unfortunately the main stadium was closed when I got there and only people with prior reservations could gain access but it was definitely an interesting view. I also explored the accessory store just beside it and there I found really good quality collections of items which would definitely excite any tennis enthusiast. I’ll definitely recommend!👍🏾

Visited during the opening week of the French Open to see qualifyings. Signage to the stadium is quite poor, and it's easy to get lost finding the correct gate.

The event space itself is massive, with lots of stores and live performances and activities. However, lots of these were closed for opening week. Tennis was excellent, despite Nadal pulling out last minute. Make sure to get the App to find out what games are playing when, and certain courts have quite the line up (14).

Water fountains are provided, but merch inside will be a bit steep.

We splurged and got the Premium Passion package which included a tour of the grounds and a meeting with Henri Leconte. Plenty of finger foods and beverages were offered. The main shopping area was very busy in the morning, so get your souvenir items later in the day. The Philippe Chatrier Stadium was just about the right size, not huge like the US Open, and not quite as intimate as Wimbledon’s Centre Court.

Roland Garros grounds are absolutely brilliant. The atmosphere is unique, and you can find iconic places and figures in every corner. Well worth the visit!

I went for a guided visit and I can say it is a mandatory stop in Paris if you are a tennis fan. The tour guide feeds you with a history class on how it all began, the preparation and the backstage of the tournament and provides you access to very exclusive areas. The tour is all around the Philippe-Chatrier court and unfortunately we do not get to step on the clay. It is all very exciting and the 90 minutes feel too short given all there is visit and how much we want to see and learn.

We had a stadium tour here. The guide was so nice, but unfortunately there was a paddle tournament going on, so most of the special rooms weren't accessible for visit, and the main stadium's beautiful clay surface was covered with ugly black carpet.

The guided tour by Lionel was awesome. The Philippe Chatrier stadium is beautiful and the tour is extensive and great.

Great Place. Very well organized, no stress, great ambiance. You really feel good watching the matches.

This is a magic experience for all tennis lovers. One of the best tournaments of the season and one of the best facilities of the tennis tour.

I have been four times to Roland Garros and it’s always a pleasure. It doesn’t matter if you attend the qualies, first rounds, final rounds or just watch the games through the big screens outside, there is always a great atmosphere.

The stadiums Philip Chatrier and Suzanne Lenglen are the main attractions, but I would also recommend to watch the matches of the other courts, so you are closer to the players and the game.

The negative points are the crazy prices of the food and drinks and the confusion and long waiting time when entering, leaving or trying to go into a small court.

I was watching a match of Iga Swiatek against Daria Kasatkina in 2022.

The Roland Garros event captivates with its rich tennis tradition. The clay courts echo with the prowess of athletes, blending athleticism and finesse. Spectators are treated to intense rivalries and graceful rallies, showcasing the epitome of clay court mastery. The iconic venue, nestled in Paris, exudes a timeless charm, creating a unique tennis atmosphere. From Nadal's dominance to unexpected upsets, Roland Garros promises tennis enthusiasts an unforgettable experience. The French Open, with its historic backdrop and thrilling matches, remains a cornerstone in the Grand Slam calendar, celebrating the spirit of the sport with each captivating serve and masterful volley.

30 people per tour was a bit much for some of the spaces indoors. But was excited to see Nadal's house

I booked the 90 minute tour organized throughout the week to know more about the RG History and dare I say that I wasn't disappointed.
The tour guide explained the story & the process of how they came up with the RG name, we visited philipe chatrier court from the top and from the bottom and the sight of it when it's empty was alone breathtaking as it's been always my dream to visit RG let alone when you watch an actual match!!, learned about the history of the stadium, seen the lockers, trophies(original) room, press room, and the famous Rafa iron statue.
The tour ended with a visit to the boutique where we can buy shirts, caps, balls, rackets, jackets and some souvenirs like key chains and magnets, and if you take part in the tour, you get 10% discount on your purchases from the boutique(souvenir shop)
I asked about Rafa merch, I was told by the employee that it's only available during the time of the tournament itself, so only 3 weeks a year
Had an absolute blast and by far was one of my best experiences, looking forward to coming here again but this time during the RG tournament itself.
The Tour is conducted in 2 languages, Both French and English and booking via website a few days in advance is essential to ensure the right time and language for visitors.

Had a good day here, Q's for everything so bring your own food and drinks but overall a great experience, will be back again
