When visiting the Roland Garros Stadium you should not miss the Museum of the French Tennis Federation. Located in what was once the stadium gardener's cottage, this multimedia museum has recently been renovated, but has lost none of the charm of the original building.

Here you can see a permanent exhibition hall and other rooms which offer themed exhibitions and a multimedia library. View informative displays, artefacts, tennis footage dating back over a hundred years, and exclusive player interviews. There is free entry during the tournament to anyone holding a ticket to the event.
