We will be in Paris for the first week of the French Open tennis tournament( last week of May)..... Any ideas about tickets ( it looks very expensive) and close -by places to stay?
Christine -
You maybe needing to scramble for hotels if you haven't booked already.
Tickets will easily be $200 per ticket and up - General Admission is not recommended if you really want to see a game. I checked the local ticket agent FNAC - and only doubles matches are at normal prices outside of qualifying matches. You may want to look to see if there is anyone in the US offering packages.
Roland Garros is in the 16th where I live and hotels are at a premium here as well. What I would recommend is looking for a hotel a bit further into Paris and plan to Metro into the area for a match should you decide to purchase.
