French Open (Roland-Garros)
Late May-early June· Roland-Garros, Paris
Why the circuit stops here
Clay-court Grand Slam on the western edge of Paris: longer rallies, longer hospitality days, and a two-week overlap with the Riviera season when half the box seats arrive by jet from Nice.
The money signal
Premium boxes and corporate hospitality sell out months ahead; the final fortnight is a standing Paris overflow from Cannes and Monaco.

European corporate boxes, Gulf patronage, tennis money and Paris society in the same tribune.
How they arrive
- Private aviation is the default: expect FBO slots and hotel helipads to be the real constraint, not tickets.
- Short-hop helicopter transfers beat the road traffic. This stop is built around its helipads.
