How do I get to Stade Roland-Garros?

Line 9 is the real answer — plus what to do if it's jammed on match days

Stade Roland-Garros sits in the 16th arrondissement at the southern edge of the Bois de Boulogne. The Métro gets you there directly on one line for almost every starting point in Paris — below is the real route, plus taxi, driving, and app guidance for match days specifically.

The fastest real route — by Métro

Porte d'Auteuil (Métro Line 9) is the closest stop to the main grounds, a 10-minute walk from the entrance gates. Porte de Saint-Cloud (Line 9) and Michel-Ange–Molitor (Lines 9 and 10) are both realistic 15-20 minute walk alternatives when Porte d'Auteuil gets jammed with match-day crowds — genuinely common in the hour either side of gates opening. RATP runs the whole network; a weekly Navigo Découverte pass (around €32.40 plus a one-off €5 card fee) covers unlimited Métro, bus, and RER travel across all zones and is the best value for a multi-day stay.

Taxi / rideshare

A taxi or Uber into the 16th arrondissement is genuinely slower and pricier than the Métro during match hours — the streets around the stadium see real congestion in the hour either side of each day's first and last sessions. Worth it late in the evening after a night session, when Métro frequency drops, or if you're travelling with young children or heavy bags — otherwise Line 9 is the better call.

Driving & parking

Driving is the least recommended option — central Paris traffic, limited match-day parking directly around the venue, and the same congestion that slows taxis all make this genuinely harder than the Métro for almost everyone. If you do drive, book any official on-site or nearby parking well ahead through the official Roland-Garros site rather than expecting to find something on the day.

Roland-Garros Travel — Official Ticket + Hotel

The tournament's own bundled packages, ticket and Accor hotel in one booking

The single hardest part of planning a first Roland-Garros trip isn't the tennis — it's Paris hotel availability colliding with tournament dates that shift a little every year and ticket categories that are genuinely confusing on a first read. Roland-Garros Travel exists specifically to remove that friction, and it's built by the people who actually run the tournament, not a third-party aggregator guessing at what pairs well together.

Worth knowing

—Finals packages go on sale before the actual finalists are known — booking one is a bet on being in Paris for the last weekend of the tournament regardless of matchup, and they sell out well before the semi-finals are played.
—The Accor hotel tier is selectable within each package (2-star through Palace) — decide the trip's real budget first, since the ticket price is fixed but the hotel choice is where the total cost swings hardest.

Getting around, cheaply

This figure covers RATP's Métro, bus, and RER network — no car needed, and Line 9 or Line 10 drops you at Porte d'Auteuil, a 2-5 minute walk from Roland Garros. A weekly Navigo Découverte pass (around €32.40 plus a one-off €5 card fee) covers unlimited travel across all zones and is the best value for a multi-day stay.

The apps worth having on your phone

Citymapper or the official RATP app for real-time Métro/RER journey planning — both cover live disruption, which matters on a high-traffic tournament day. Uber or Bolt both operate normally in Paris for the taxi/rideshare option above, no tourist-eligibility restriction on either.
