Car park Roland Garros

Driving to Roland-Garros Stadium during the 2026 tournament can quickly become stressful if you do not plan your parking ahead of time. With traffic restrictions, large crowds, and reinforced security checks, hoping to find a space at the last minute is rarely a good strategy. For the 2026 edition, scheduled from May 18 to June 7, 2026, it is strongly recommended to organize your visit in advance to avoid stress and wasted time.

Booking parking in advance offers several benefits:

Save time: Avoid driving around the stadium or nearby streets looking for a space.
Controlled rates: Benefit from fixed-price offers for the full day.
Peace of mind: Know exactly where you will park and plan your arrival and departure easily.
Flexibility: Book up to one hour before arrival.

INDIGO car parks offer online booking through INDIGO Neo. They cover the main access areas around the stadium and provide secure, covered, easy-to-access parking options.

Traffic, Recommended Routes and Times to Avoid

During Roland-Garros, the entire 16th arrondissement of Paris—especially the area around the stadium and the Bois de Boulogne—becomes very busy. Many roads are slowed down or partially closed to improve pedestrian flow and public transport access. Traffic around the Mandatory Crossing Points, known as PPOs, is strictly controlled.

Roads that are regularly congested during the tournament include:

Boulevard d’Auteuil
Avenue du Général Sarrail
Boulevard Murat
Rue Molitor

Recommended Routes

If you are arriving from western Paris or the suburbs, take the D907 via Route de la Reine or Quai Alphonse Le Gallo, then head toward Boulogne-Billancourt to park at Point du Jour, Bellefeuille, or Forum.

From the south via the A6/A10, choose access through Porte de Saint-Cloud, then head toward INDIGO Citroën Cévennes or Porte d’Auteuil.

From the north or east, use the western section of the Paris ring road and exit at Porte de Sèvres to avoid the densest areas.

Times to Avoid

Avoid arriving before 11 a.m., when most spectators arrive for the day. Traffic is also heavy between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., especially when evening matches are scheduled. Weekends, semi-final days, and final days are the busiest periods.

Practical Tips to Avoid Traffic Jams

For major sporting events like the French Open at Roland-Garros, planning ahead is essential.

1. Book a Covered Car Park Near the Stadium

A car park such as INDIGO Bellefeuille places you around 15 to 20 minutes on foot from the stadium entrance. These locations are ideal for a smooth arrival and departure.

2. Avoid No-Parking Zones

During the tournament, some streets around the stadium become residential-only or reinforced security zones. Street parking may be prohibited, including for two-wheelers, with the risk of fines or towing.

3. Choose Off-Peak Arrival Times

Arriving before 9 a.m. or between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. can help you avoid morning congestion and overlapping spectator flows.

4. Check Pedestrian Access Routes

Some car parks, such as Point du Jour, are slightly farther away but offer clearly marked pedestrian routes or convenient transport links during the tournament.

5. Check Parking Conditions

Some INDIGO car parks have height limits, often around 1.90 m, and specific access conditions. Make sure your vehicle is compatible and that the car park is open at your arrival time, especially for evening sessions.
