Uncover the Grand Stages of Paris

Stade Roland-Garros

Located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, Roland-Garros is a world-renowned tennis venue that has hosted the prestigious French Open since 1928. Named after the pioneering French aviator Roland Garros, the stadium is famous for its distinctive red clay courts, which set it apart from the other Grand Slam tournaments. Over the years, Roland-Garros has undergone several expansions and modernizations, including the recent addition of a retractable roof over Court Philippe-Chatrier and the construction of new courts like the innovative Simonne-Mathieu Court, nestled within the Serres d’Auteuil botanical gardens. These updates have ensured that the venue remains at the forefront of tennis, providing state-of-the-art facilities for both players and spectators.

As the premier clay court championship, the French Open at Roland-Garros attracts the world’s top tennis players and millions of fans each year. The unique playing surface influences the style and strategy of the game, making it a distinctive challenge in the tennis calendar. In addition to the French Open, Roland-Garros has hosted numerous Davis Cup and Fed Cup matches, further establishing its reputation as a premier venue for international tennis. The stadium’s recent renovations have also focused on sustainability, incorporating eco-friendly practices such as water management systems and energy-efficient lighting. As part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Roland-Garros will once again take center stage, showcasing tennis events on its iconic clay courts and continuing its legacy as a symbol of excellence in the sport.
