Watch world class tennis at Roland Garros, enjoy a private walking tour of the city, stroll along the Seine and the Canal St. Martin, savour fresh croissants, visit leading designer studios and dine with some of the country’s most celebrated chefs. This is a unique chance to be a part of one of the most exciting sports events in the world as you take in the rich diversity of experiences that Paris has to offer.
Held in Paris, France every summer, the clay courts of the Roland Garros provide the most interesting feature of the tournament. The clay court slows the ball down, and can do a number on players’ footwork. Traditionally there have been clay court specialists who emerge from the French Open, who win when higher ranked players falter. Sampras and Federer could never master the clay. Will threepeat champion 2005, 2006, and 2007 Rafael Nadal and Justine Henin win it again in 2008, or will a newcomer seize the French Open? Join us in this tour and experience the excitement of the prestigious French Open.
