In which Paris arrondissement is Stade Roland Garros located?

Stade Roland Garros is located in Paris’s 16th arrondissement. The complex stands near Porte d’Auteuil, on the western side of the city beside the Bois de Boulogne.

The stadium opened in 1928, when Paris hosted the French International Championships for the first time at the site. It was named after Roland Garros, a French aviator and pioneering aviator-engineer rather than a tennis player.

The venue is often casually called “Roland-Garros,” as is the tournament itself, which can cause confusion between the stadium, the surrounding complex and the French Open competition. The 15th arrondissement is also on Paris’s western side, but Stade Roland Garros lies across the Seine-side city boundary in the 16th.
