French Open



From May 27 to June 10 the French Open in the Tennis Stadium Roland Garros is being played.
We live in walking distance to this stadium and notice the congestion of the streets and the filled Metro. Thousand of tennis enthusiasts are in Paris to see some games of this tennis tournament. But tickets are hard to get and they are pricy.

Today when I walked in front of the Hotel de Ville, I discovered that the town installed a "tennis court" with a stand where one can buy something to drink and then sit down at tables to watch the games on a large screen.




When the Finals are being played it will be a full place and fun to be among the spectators.
