Your Roland-Garros 2025 and French Open travel experience starts here.
Roland-Garros, colloquially known as the French Open, is the second of four annual Grand Slams, after the Australian Open. Held annually in Paris, France, it’s the only Grand Slam to take place on clay courts. Those famous clay courts slow down the ball, leading to longer rallies and tougher points. Players must deploy strategy and strength to be victorious. While you may be drawn to Paris for the French Open, the city of Paris itself is an incredible place to visit. Home to attractions like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Sacre Coeur and many more, you will come for the tennis and stay for the culture.
Our team are currently working on our French Open 2025 packages, due to be released in mid 2024.

Roland-Garros, widely known as the French Open, is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world.
Held annually in Paris, France, this Grand Slam event is unique for its clay courts, which distinguish it from the other three Grand Slam tournaments. The tournament takes place over two weeks, typically starting in late May and concluding in early June.
Named after the French aviator Roland Garros, the tournament is held at the Stade Roland Garros, an iconic venue that has hosted the event since 1928. The clay surfaces of various courts at Roland Garros are famous for their slow-playing characteristics, which lead to longer rallies and a test of endurance and strategy for the players. This unique surface challenges even the most skilled athletes, making victories at Roland Garros particularly prestigious.
The French Open features both men’s and women’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles matches, as well as junior and wheelchair events. Over the years, it has witnessed historic matches and legendary performances from tennis greats such as Rafael Nadal, who holds the record for the most men’s singles titles, and Chris Evert, who has a remarkable record in women’s singles.
Beyond the tennis, Roland-Garros is a celebration of French culture and elegance. The tournament attracts fans from around the world, offering them not only world-class tennis but also a taste of Parisian charm. From the iconic red clay courts to the vibrant atmosphere filled with the aroma of French cuisine and the sight of stylish spectators, Roland-Garros provides an unforgettable experience for players and fans alike.
Whether you’re a die-hard tennis enthusiast or simply looking to experience one of the sporting world’s grandest stages, Roland-Garros stands as a testament to the beauty and challenge of tennis on clay, embodying both tradition and excellence in the heart of Paris.
Whether you’re looking for a short Roland-Garros experience or planning a longer trip, we look forward to being your travel partner and will have French Open 2025 packages available soon. Packages will include hospitality experiences and reserved tickets, hand-picked hotels, daily breakfast and transport options. Packages can be customised with extra travel services including extra nights, flights, transport, sightseeing, travel insurance and more.

Roland-Garros 2025 (French Open) is always held at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. The precinct is located in the 16th arrondissement to the west of the city. At Stade Roland Garros there are a number of outer courts, but the three main courts are:

For Roland-Garros 2025 (French Open) we will offer travel packages including hospitality tickets and reserved seats. Packages will come with hand-picked hotel accommodation and can be customised with extra travel services including extra nights, flights, transport, sightseeing and travel insurance.
Hospitality packages including reserved seats can also be purchased individually without a package.
For Roland-Garros 2025 (French Open) there are a few places you should stay. As the tournament is held in the 16th arrondissement, it’s not within walking distance of the centre of the city. There are a number of recommended arrondissements to stay and then commute via train or taxi/rideshare to Stade Roland Garros each day you have tickets for. If you have a day session ticket you can walk, depending on where your hotel is located (we can provide recommendations and tested options) however if you have a night session we recommend travelling via train or taxi/rideshare as walking through Paris at night may not be for everyone.
We recommend staying in the following arrondissements:
The French Open is called Roland-Garros in honour of Roland Garros, a pioneering French aviator and World War I hero. The tournament’s name pays tribute to his legacy and contributions to aviation and military service. In 1928, when the stadium was constructed to host France’s defence of the Davis Cup, it was named Stade Roland Garros to honour this national icon. The use of his name underscores the event’s deep cultural and historical significance in France, blending the nation’s rich heritage with the prestige of one of tennis’s most important tournaments.
Don’t just take our word for it. Our team gets tons of praise.
