Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Stade Roland Garros
Stade Roland Garros is a tennis venue located in Paris, France, that hosts the French Open—also known as Roland Garros, particularly within Europe—a Grand Slam championship tournament played annually around the end of May and the beginning of June.
It is named for Roland Garros, a pioneer aviator who completed the first solo flight across the Mediterranean Sea, engineer (inventor of the first forward-firing aircraft machine gun), and World War I hero (as a pilot, he shot down four enemy aircraft, though popularly believed to be five). Garros was killed in aerial combat in 1918. The facility was constructed in 1928 to host France's first defense of the Davis Cup.
The 8.5-hectare (21-acre) complex contains twenty courts, including three large-capacity stadiums; Les Jardins de Roland Garros, a large restaurant and bar complex; Le Village, the press and VIP area; France's National Training Centre (CNE); and the Tenniseum, a bilingual, multimedia museum of the history of tennis.
France was an important power in tennis during the first half of the 20th century due to the dominance of Suzanne Lenglen during the 1910s and 1920s, and les Quatre Mousquetaires (the Four Musketeers)—Jacques Toto Brugnon, Jean Borotra (the Bouncing Basque), Henri Cochet (the Magician), and René Lacoste (the Crocodile)—in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1927, France defeated the United States to win the Davis Cup, due largely to the Musketeers' efforts. Roland Garros was constructed as a venue for France's successful defense the following year. France retained the Cup until 1933, again largely because of the Musketeers. A monument to France's six Cup championships stands at the center of Place des Mousquetaires, a circular courtyard near the venue's entrance.
In October 1939, shortly after the outbreak of World War II, the facility was used as a detention centre where indésirables—mostly Hungarians, Russians, Italians, Poles, and citizens suspected of being communists—were held pending imprisonment. Journalist and former communist Arthur Koestler reported that at the time of his detention, posters advertising the last match prior to the outbreak of war, between Cochet and Borotra, were still in place.
Court Philippe Chatrier was built in 1928 as Roland Garros's centerpiece and remains its principal venue, seating 14,840 spectators (reduced from 15,166 in 2010 to accommodate new press boxes). The stadium was known simply as Court Central until 2001, when it was renamed for the long-time president of the Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT) who helped restore tennis as a Summer Olympics sport in 1988.
Built in 1994 and originally designated Court A, Court Suzanne Lenglen is the secondary stadium with a capacity of 10,068 spectators. Its namesake, an international celebrity and the first true star of women's tennis, won 31 major tournaments, including six French Open titles and six Wimbledon championships, between 1914 and 1926. Known as La Divine (Divine One) and La Grand Dame (Great Lady) of French tennis
Known officially as the Museum of the French Federation of Tennis, the Tenniseum was designed by the French architect Bruno Moinard and opened in May 2003. It is housed in a former groundsman's cottage, and comprises a multimedia center, media library, and permanent and temporary exhibits dedicated to the history of tennis in general, and the French Open in particular. Permanent exhibits include a display of the French Open perpetual trophies, including La Coupe des Mousquetaires and La Coupe Suzanne Lenglen; a narrative and photographic history of Roland Garros

The unofficial visitor's guide to Roland-Garros
The unofficial visitor's guide to Roland-Garros (The French Open Tennis Championships) held every spring in Paris, including ticketing information and how to get there.
To buy tickets go to:
There are 4 types of tickets: Philippe-Chatrier (Central Court) plus outside courts, Suzanne-Lenglen Court plus outside courts Court N°1 plus outside courts and also just outside courts or ground access tickets.
If you have outside court tickets your best bet is go straight to court 2 or 3 as queues get ridiculous to get in later.
The ticket(s) will be delivered to your e-mail as pdf attachments. If you buy more than one ticket all tickets will be in your name, so you will need to log in and transfer them to the people who will be going with you to the tournament.
The e-tickets then need to be printed and will be scanned at the entrance gate of the stadium where a pass will be printed in the name of ticketholder. These will then be checked against an ID to enter the stadium.
You used to be able to buy tickets on the day if you queued very early, but that ended in 2010.
There will be loads of people selling tickets around the stadium but at rip-off prices and no guaranties. Leave a comment if you have any experience buying tickets this way!
In 2010 they would release a few afternoon tickets on their website at 12:00 (I think - don't quote me on that though) and you can get in from 14:00 (again, not 100% sure on the exact time) onwards so if all else fails try that.
