Roland Garros and the Tenniseum

Bordering the limits of Paris lies one of the world’s most beloved sports stadiums, the Roland Garros. If you are a tennis fan you will definitely enjoy this location. As you may or may not know, Roland Garros is the site of the Roland Garros Tennis Grand Slam, the second major tennis tournament of the year. It is here, on the French red clay, where the top men and women tennis players come every year to fight against each other in one of the toughest and most challenging clay court event of the season. The complex features three major stadiums and multiple clay courts. Added recently was a tennis museum, the Tenniseum. This museum offers the first multimedia tennis museum in the world, which provides great tennis coverage of the history of tennis and Roland Garros and also offers multiple interactive exhibits with over 200 hours of tennis match footage. Michael really enjoyed this museum, spending long hours just viewing previous French Open tennis matches. Visitors beware! In order to visit the stadium, reservation is a must. Plan ahead at least a couple of days in advance.
