ROLAND-GARROS IN THE CITY

Experience the excitement of the tournament in the very heart of the capital!

For the third year running, from the 3rd to 10th June, the French Open will come to the heart of the capital to envelop the esplanade of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris with a unique and festive tennis-themed atmosphere. We’ll see you there in June 2012!

In 2011, visitors were given the chance to experience the excitement of a clay-court rally on a specially-installed court, watch the champions play exhibition matches, introduce their kids to mini-tennis, watch the live play broadcast on a giant screen and take part in activities organised by the FFT and its sponsors. To mark the launch of its Challenge fragrance, Lacoste invited people to try their hand at trampolining, while Longines let them test the speed of their service in Smash Corner.

See you in June 2012 when Roland-Garros returns to the esplanade of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris!
