The French Open, often referred to as Roland Garros or Les internationaux de France de Tennis is the 2nd of only 4 annual grand slam tennis tournaments. It is the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world and attracts all of the big names.

Held over two weeks between late May and early June at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France, it is widely regarded as the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world due to the slow playing surface, the climate and the 5 set men’s singles matches.

The French Open Location

Roland Garros Stadium is based on the west side of Paris not far from St Cloud on the bank of the River Seine and practically next door to Longchamp Raceourse which hosts the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

If you are planning a trip to Roland Garros for The French Open then you may need the below travel tips.

Using The Metro

Line 9: Mairie de Montreuil – Pont de Sèvres (nearest stop: Michel-Ange Auteuil or Michel-Ange Molitor)
Line 10: Gare d’Austerlitz – Boulogne (nearest stop: Porte d’Auteuil or Boulogne Jean-Jaurès)

We recommend the access through Gate I – Suzanne-Lenglen which has been renovated in 2011 for better access. This is in fact the second biggest gate into the Grounds.

As you make your way back into Paris, we recommend that you take the metro at Michel-Ange Molitor (on the lines 9 and 10) in order to avoid hold-ups at the other stations.

Park & Ride/Walk

If you are travelling by car, several car parks are served by the free Roland-Garros shuttle buses.

Parking Pelouse de Saint-Cloud Bois de Boulogne.
Address : Chemin de Ceinture du Lac Inférieur, 75016 Paris
Access from the Périphérique Extérieur exit at Porte de Passy
Distance from the Grounds: 1km – 12mins on foot (faster by Roland-Garros shuttle green line)

Parking Porte d’Auteuil (Carrefour).
Address: 1-3 Avenue du Général Sarrail, 75016 Paris
Distance from the Grounds: 600m – 7mins on foot (faster by Roland-Garros shuttle yellow line)

Parking Parchamp.
Adress: 7 ter, rue du Parchamp 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt
Distance from the Grounds: 850m – 9min on foot

Be aware and stick to the local rules, this event is remowned for making the local council a fortune in parking fines.

Car hire service

Service from both Matt and Sam was friendly and effective. Only issue was a car hire and details was arranged with Matt at 07h26 and he did not ff through and close the car hire. No confirmation quote was sent or payment made. He left me hanging and i was only able to secure the car with a later pm call with Sam.

Thank God for Indigo

The day before travelling to the UK from Australia I discovered I’d lost my wallet and my drivers license photo card with it. I wondered if that would be a problem when picking up the car I’d rented from … rhymes with Europe bar and has a c in the middle… at Heathrow. And oh my word yes it was a huge and insurmountable problem – no license, no car. Despite having rented a

Do I need to pass a credit check if using my debit card to hire?

If renting a car in the UK and you are a UK resident most of the large multinational suppliers will carry out an electronic address check to ensure you have strong enough links to the address provided. However most of the suppliers with the exception of 1 or 2, still carry out the same checks so not unique to when you need to hire via a debit card. Key indicator are if you are named on the Electoral Register and named on the council tax bill.

When renting a car overseas as an inbound client our suppliers do not carry out any checks.

Do I need to leave a deposit if hiring with a debit card?

Most suppliers do require a security deposit when renting a car, in the UK we have a range of options. The best value suppliers would request a £200.00 – £300.00 deposit. However we do have selected locations where our supplier does not require any deposit, so a full zero deposit.

In Europe we have options where you can just leave a fuel deposit of 110 EUR, and there is no mandatory requirement to take the Super Cover as this can be the case with some of the smaller budget suppliers.
