I realise that tickets to watch the Grand Slam tennis tournament at Roland Garros are normally like Gold Dust. However every year Galeries Lafayette create their own viewing point complete with deckchairs in front of a giant screen. You can watch the tennis games direct, via France Télévision without hacking out to the 16th arrondissement to watch this and it’s probably more fun than being at home!
It’s free, but obviously it’s first come first served for the deckchairs!
You can watch every day until 13th June and if there is no play on the courts you can always turn your gaze to the Eiffel Tower.
Rendez-vous at Galeries Lafayette on their Rooftop Terrace which is on the top of the building selling Ladies’ clothing etc with the beautiful glass coupole. Bring your own strawberries and cream 🙂
Information on ticketing here : https://tickets.rolandgarros.com/en/informations/public#1
and tickets are available here : https://tickets.rolandgarros.com/en/ Resales are even available as from late April so don’t lose heart (but do NOT buy from non-official parties as they will be fake).
By the way, click on the deckchair photo and buy your own official deckchair!
A très bientôt,
Do join me on Facebook for more whitterings and general information on what’s going on in Paris 🙂
