Location overview: Stade Roland-Garros is located at 2 Avenue Gordon Bennett, near Porte d’Auteuil and the Bois de Boulogne in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The site is best known as the home of the French Open, one of the world’s major clay-court tennis tournaments. Its identity is closely linked to Court Philippe-Chatrier, Court Suzanne-Lenglen and the surrounding Auteuil sports area, where tennis heritage, landscaped spaces and residential western Paris meet.
The stadium was built in 1928 and named after Roland Garros, a French aviation pioneer and sportsman who died during the First World War. The original central court later became Court Philippe-Chatrier, named in 2001 after the former president of the French Tennis Federation. Court Suzanne-Lenglen, opened in the 1990s, honors one of France’s most celebrated tennis champions. The complex also includes modern tournament facilities, practice courts and visitor areas connected to the history of tennis in France.
Over the decades, Roland-Garros has expanded from a compact tennis ground into a major international venue. Its position beside the Bois de Boulogne gives it a different atmosphere from many central Paris landmarks: greener, more spacious and closely tied to the Auteuil district. The nearby Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil adds an important botanical and architectural landmark, while Molitor, Parc des Princes and Porte de Saint-Cloud place the stadium within a wider western Paris sports corridor.

Auteuil district access near Serres d’Auteuil, Molitor and Bois de Boulogne
Access overview: Stade Roland-Garros is easy to identify from Porte d’Auteuil, Avenue Gordon Bennett, Boulevard d’Auteuil and the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. This western Paris location connects naturally with the Auteuil district, Molitor, Parc des Princes, Porte de Saint-Cloud and the Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil. During major tennis events, the area can become very busy, so a clear pickup point is useful for visitors, groups and travelers with luggage.
Public transport access is available through metro lines 9 and 10, with stations such as Michel-Ange – Molitor, Michel-Ange – Auteuil, Porte d’Auteuil and Porte de Saint-Cloud depending on the chosen route. Several bus lines also serve the area, including routes connecting western Paris, the Seine-side districts, Boulogne-Billancourt and the Bois de Boulogne. However, after a long flight or during a tournament period, walking distances, crowds and luggage can make public transport less comfortable.
The surroundings are useful for visitors who want to combine a sports event with nearby landmarks. Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil offers a calm botanical setting, Molitor is a recognizable local reference point, Parc des Princes is close for football and concerts, and the Bois de Boulogne gives the district a more open western Paris character. Hotels around Auteuil, Passy, Trocadéro, Boulogne-Billancourt and Porte de Saint-Cloud can also serve as practical pickup points for airport departures.
Private airport shuttle to Roland-Garros from CDG and Orly
Transfer insight: Stade Roland-Garros is located about 18.3 km from Orly Airport, about 31.5 km from Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport, and around 88.6 km from Beauvais Airport. From CDG, the journey usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 depending on traffic around the ring road and western Paris. From Orly, travel time is often about 30 minutes to 1 hour 10. Beauvais Airport is farther away and usually requires a longer journey.
Taxis provide a direct route to the stadium, but travel time and cost can vary during peak traffic, tournament dates or evening events. Public transport can be cheaper, but it may involve RER, metro or bus connections, plus walking between stations and the stadium gates. This can be inconvenient with luggage, children or a tight schedule before a match. A pre-booked shuttle offers a clearer meeting point and a more comfortable door-to-door transfer.
For arrivals from the north of Paris, the CDG airport shuttle to Roland-Garros and Porte d’Auteuil provides a direct option for reaching the stadium area. Travelers arriving from the south can use an Orly airport shuttle to Roland-Garros and Auteuil district. Visitors who want to combine airport pickup with flexible movement across western Paris may also choose a private vehicle with driver for Paris sports venues and landmarks, especially when arriving for a match, an event or a stay near Porte d’Auteuil.
