Court Philippe-Chatrier — Attraction in Paris

Disappointing experience, not recommended unless you’re a VIP. We went for 2 days of the quarter finals 2024. Bad organization doesn’t even begin to describe the chaos, the unnecessary waiting and the underwhelming facilities. If you wanted some water or something to eat, you had to wait for over 20’, then you had to wander around to find a place to sit. Some people make it in the stadium without the ticket, then take seats which is not theirs so you even need to engage in discussions to claim your seat back! The shop is well organized but very expensive. I made purchases of just over EUR 240, mainly for baseball caps (€35/ piece), a coffee cup (€18), fridge magnets (€8/piece). Coming from the south (we were staying at the Mercure Hotel, as it was sold to us by Roland Garros Travel basically as an “almost on-site” hotel) we had to walk an additional 25’, crossing the highway and back, to enter from the north side. Terrible experience and service. Of course, if you’re in one of the boxes with direct access to the specially dedicated bars/ restaurants, I’m sure it’s an incredible experience. For us it’s a regret that we even tried to come here, a package of approx.EUR 3.700 just to get the worst service and not enjoy it. Terrible distraction which didn’t let us enjoy Alcaraz, Zverev, Tsitsipas and the other players. Certainly not going to go there again. The two stars are because of the high level tennis, an experience destroyed by...

I visited in 2022 and I was really impressed with some aspects of and very disappointed with the others. The positive impressions include the prices of the tickets and the food. We enjoyed Roland Gaross-themed macarons and champagne. Also, the chips were really great and there was something special about all the food stools that kinda kept reminding us that we are in France. On the negative side, it was really hard to climb the stairs to the central court. There were lifts but we were not allowed to use them because we did not have a disability card?! It was beyond ridiculous because we were with our 75+ years old mum and obviously that was a horror for her to climb 3 sets of stairs. Honestly, it was hard to even for me (I am 47) as I am not particularly fit. That made us enjoy less because we were kinda forced to stay up once we were up because we could not imagine going down and then up again. On one occasion we tried to use the lift and were told off by some staff members in a very rude way. Also, entry to the complex was really poorly organised, and despite so many tourists, the staff was yelling instructions only in the local language (for instance that ladies need to go to one security line and men into other ...). It was confusing and was causing unnecessary delays. It would be useful even if they put some written...
