Part of the Bois de Boulogne—a large park in Paris's 16th arrondissement—Roland Garros sits on the western edge of the city. It’s not something you’ll pass by during a city walking tour, but it’s easily accessible if you’re heading to the French Open. The main courts include Suzanne Lenglen, which seats roughly 10,000 spectators, and Philippe Chatrier, the center court that seats nearly 15,000.
If you’re visiting outside the tournament dates, you can check out the Tenniseum, aka Museum of the French Federation of Tennis, which features trophies and exhibits about the history of the French Open.
The triangle-shaped stadium complex is bordered by Avenue Porte d'Auteuil, Boulevard d'Auteuil, and Avenue Gordon Bennett on the southern end of Bois de Boulogne. It can be reached on the Metro via lines #9 and #10 from the Porte d'Auteuil and Michel-Ange–Molitor stations.
The French Open starts in late May and lasts two weeks into early June. You can also attend qualifying-round games the week before. The security and entrance lines can be long, so give yourself plenty of time to get there and find your court and seat.
