Tempting treats galore
At Roland Garros culinary delights are available to suit all appetites. Beneath Court no.1, le Passing offers an extensive array of sandwiches. In the National Training Centre courtyard, les Jardins de Roland-Garros can accommodate 500 seated diners. There are also five gourmet kiosks, while la Terrasse (200 seats), situated below the Suzanne-Lenglen court is sure to tempt you with its savoury tarts, flavoured pizzas or grilled meats. Lastly, the stadium boasts a regular sprinkling of snack bars, serving sweet or salty snacks, drinks and also punnets of strawberries.

Facilities for the disabled
Numerous amenities exist at Roland-Garros to facilitate disabled people’s access to the courts. The Philippe-Chatrier court now has twenty-five places reserved for wheelchair users, while the Suzanne-Lenglen has twenty and Court no. 1 nine. Wheelchair-bound spectators can also be accommodated at Courts 3, 4 and 5 (four places). In order to facilitate access to the outside courts located behind the Suzanne-Lenglen Court, a special route has been created within the stadium, parallel to the Boulevard d'Auteuil.

Postal service
A post office is open every day between 10:00 and 18:00 in the Allée Suzanne-Lenglen, alongside Court no.6. No less than 1,000 items of mail leave the stadium each day, complete with a special Roland-Garros postmark.

Medical Service
There are three infirmaries open to the public during the course of the tournament:

- At the Philippe-Chatrier Court, access via the Borotra stand gallery
- Suzanne-Lenglen Court, beneath the East stand
- Court no.1, opposite the Village

No fewer than seven emergency doctors and eleven nurses are on hand at these posts to assist members of the public.

Tennis culture
If you’d like a change of scene between matches, why not pay a visit to the Tenniseum, Roland-Garros’s very own museum. Tennis’s first and foremost multimedia museum, its 2,200 square metres are home to a permanent exhibition, a multimedia zone where you can watch highlights of classic matches from past tournaments, plus two themed exhibitions and a media library.

There are three temporary exhibitions on offer: one devoted to René Lacoste, the second showcasing the artist behind the 2008 tournament poster, Arnulf Rainer, and the third retracing the development of the stadium since its creation 80 years ago.

Like last year, spectators can enter the Tenniseum free of charge, and if you save your ticket, you can return – also free of charge – any time from 10 June to 31 December to pay another visit or to take a guided tour of the stadium. For more information, go to the Tenniseum site at http://www.tenniseum.fr

BNP Paribas branch
A BNP Paribas counter complete with bureau de change is located in the gallery of the Philippe-Chatrier Court’s Borotra stand. Between Saturday 24 May and Sunday 8 June, customers of the bank will be able to carry out all their day-to-day transactions there. From Friday 23 May, non-BNP Paribas customers with a Visa card or Eurocard / Mastercard will be able to withdraw cash at the four ATMs installed within the stadium itself. Two of them are situated in the gallery beneath the Borotra stand, close to the BNP Paribas counter, while the other two are in the Place des Mousquetaires, near Courts 4 and 5. BNP Paribas branch

Entertainment
During the French Open, the main attraction is very much on the courts, but fun can also be found along the walkways of Roland-Garros, courtesy of the promotions area at the top of the Allée Suzanne-Lenglen, near the Porte Marcel-Bernard. Young and old alike are invited to discover the amusing presentations provided there by the tournament’s partners.

Lost and found
Misplaced objected may be collected from Porte 13 at the corner of the Philippe-Chatrier Court’s Brugnon and Cochet stands.
