Tour Roland-Garros for 90 minutes with a live guide in English, French, or Spanish. Visit Philippe Chatrier Court, the presidential tribune, player corridor, media areas, and other restricted spaces. Guides such as Amir, Mathieu, Lionel, and Aida have led engaging visits, though the guide and accessible areas can vary.
“Im a big fan of tennis and this tour really made my day.”
Spend up to 90 minutes exploring Marseille’s Orange Vélodrome at your own pace. This unguided visit takes you through the players’ dressing rooms, press conference room, tunnel, pitch side, archives, and Olympique de Marseille trophy collection. French and English assistance is available, and the stadium is wheelchair accessible.
Spend two hours at Nice’s Allianz Riviera and the National Sports Museum. A French guided visit with some English translation takes you through the changing rooms, press area, pitchside, and stadium design, followed by exhibits from ancient sport to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Guide Lisa has led some visits.
Follow an English-speaking guide through Roland Garros for about 90 minutes. See the press rooms, changing rooms, presidential stand, players’ corridor, trophies, and center court areas. The tour is best for tennis fans, but event schedules may close some spaces or limit court views.
“Great tour, very comprehensive and informative. Our tour guide was excellent. Will definitely recommend to friends.”
Spend a full day at France’s national sports museum, moving through personal, one-on-one, team, and extreme challenges. See Olympic torches, explore major collections at your own pace, and visit temporary exhibitions. The museum is wheelchair accessible, family-friendly, and offers free admission to several groups.
“Nothin much to see in museum .. the best part was stadium tour and they close super early so the trip wasn’t worth it in my opinion it would’ve been better to have a different plan as a tourist”
A ground to walk, a fight to watch, a game to sit through.
