How do I get to Roland-Garros stadium? What you need to know before you come

The Roland-Garros stadium, located in the pleasant 16th arrondissement of Paris, usually hosts one of the world's most famous clay-court competitions. Every year, the best male and female tennis players gather in the capital to try and win the tournament, on the Philippe-Chatrier or Suzanne-Lenglen courts. In addition to the competition, which takes place between May and June, the venue has for some years hosted other sporting competitions, shows and other cultural events popular with Parisians. For this summer, this iconic stadium is thus hosting several events of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Located on the outskirts of Paris, close to the Parc des Princes and the Jardin des Serres d'Auteuil, the stadium is easily accessible by any means of transport. So if you're planning a trip to Roland-Garros in the near future, here are some practical tips for getting there, whether you opt for public transport or the car! But please note: there is no direct access to the stadium gates, and you must first pass through one of the three Points de Passage Obligatoire (PPO) to enter the controlled perimeter.

How do I get to Roland Garros by public transport?

Metro

Two metro lines are close to the Roland-Garros stadium: lines 9 and 10. For line 10, you'll need to be careful, as the stations are located on a loop, so it's best to use the Michel-Ange Molitor station when leaving the stadium, to avoid a change at Boulogne Jean-Jaurès, which allows you to go back in the other direction, towards Gare d'Austerlitz.

On line 9, Michel-Ange Auteuil is an 8-minute walk from the crossing point, and Molitor 9 minutes. Porte d'Auteuil is the closest to the stadium, just a few steps away.

The stadium is particularly easy to get to via the Porte d'Auteuil exit on the Paris ring road. For those coming from the west, the A13 motorway runs almost directly to Roland-Garros, just take the Porte d'Auteuil exit, and the stadium is then on the right.

You'll find a number of paying parking lots close to the crossing points, although parking near the stadium is reserved exclusively for local residents, under penalty of fines and impoundment.
