French Open


Planning my next tennis trip and French Open looks like a plan.

Anyone been and can offer some advice. Best courts to book, best time to buy, good places to stay etc.

Be going first couple of days probably and hopefully following the Brits around.

You can buy pretty easily online but if memory serves, you can't buy them until March time - or about 2 months before the event itself. I only bought ground passes but I did get to see a couple of Joko's matches on her way to the semi :)

One note, if you're one that likes to carry their pims around Wimbledon, unfortunately, there are rather small and rare dedicated areas to consume your pims (or rose in this case).

It's very easy to get to on the metro, although like Wimbledon it takes a minute from the center. The area around RG is nice, it really depends on how much time you'll be spending in Paris vs RG.

Thanks Lord B. Heard horror stories of being 500K in queue when they go on sale! I'm happy with ground passes.

 I went a number of years ago but even though the ticket queue number was high, I did get through it fine. I got centre court tickets for 2 or 3 days but wandered around the outside courts. It was the year Delpo came back from another injury and he was stuck on a small outside court so it was packed! 

The Parisians were very Parisian (I.e weren't too pleased as speaking English!) I stayed nowhere near the venue but on a direct metro line because I also wanted do non tennis stuff. 

 

It was the year Rafa won his 10th title. I wanted to see Rafa play.
