VIP chauffeur at Roland-Garros: hosting your guests

Inviting clients or partners to the tournament means thinking about mobility as much as the box. Here are the official landmarks and how a chauffeur fits into the arrangements.

What official hospitality offers

Roland-Garros Travel is presented as the tournament’s official travel website. It offers packages combining a ticket for a main court, a hotel night and services, including a premium option with a private area and a reception. Details and availability change from one edition to the next, so check them directly.

For companies, this answers part of the question: the seat, the catering and the accommodation. It leaves several mobility questions open, such as the journey from hotel to checkpoint, the return meeting points and the movements for the rest of the stay, which the host has to organise. A short call with the transport team before the invitations go out avoids contradictory instructions later on.

Transfers that are included and those left to organise

According to the official site, some offers include a round-trip transfer between the station or airport and the partner hotel. That covers the guest’s arrival and departure, but not the daily comings and goings between the hotel, the stadium, a lunch or a dinner in town.

This is where a private chauffeur fits: journeys between the hotel and the tournament, a drop-off near the checkpoint, a pick-up at the end of the session. For international arrivals, our pages on airport transfers and station transfers explain how a named meet-and-greet with flight tracking works. Giving each guest the name of one person to call keeps the arrangement simple.

Welcoming guests without losing time at the checkpoint

Visitors cross a controlled perimeter through mandatory checkpoints. For a group of guests, smooth arrival depends on two things: knowing which checkpoint matches which ticket, and arriving before the flows concentrate. An attentive host passes this information on in advance. Sending a single message per guest, with the checkpoint, the session time and a contact number, is often enough to prevent confusion.

The chauffeur has no special pass: the organiser decides access, drop-off and perimeters. Our role is to build them into your transport plan, then adapt the drop-off to the instructions given on site. It also helps to agree a simple return location, away from the immediate crowd.

  • Provide a single contact for the unexpected

Guests with reduced mobility: routes worth knowing

The official site states that guests with reduced mobility get dedicated access with an adapted route on both main courts, whatever their ticket category, using a voucher collected at the desk. Each guest may bring a companion, who must also hold a package.

For the host, this means raising the matter early and describing the guest’s situation clearly to the transport team. The vehicle must allow a comfortable step in and out, and the chauffeur needs to know the preferred direction of approach. None of this can be improvised on the morning itself. A quiet word with the organiser, long before the event, is better than a request made at the gate.

Hotels, restaurants and the rest of the stay

An invitation to Roland-Garros often sits within a wider Paris stay: dinner, a visit, business meetings. The official offers sometimes include tourist options, such as a meal in a Parisian restaurant or a visit to a landmark. A chauffeur links these moments with the tournament’s schedule. Meals and visits also need drop-off points that suit the venue, not only the stadium.

A chauffeur at your disposal keeps the same vehicle and contact for several days, which simplifies communication between host and guests. For an evening in town after the session, our VIP chauffeur service remains useful, with pick-ups adapted to the actual finish time.

For those organising: sequencing the day

An assistant or concierge team does well to work backwards: session time, checkpoint, drop-off, hotel departure, then the pick-up on arrival in Paris. This chain quickly reveals weak points, such as too thin a margin between a lunch and the entry to the site. A host who decides this sequence early can share it with guests in a single clear message.

For an overview of the service, see the Roland-Garros chauffeur page. Our guide to reaching the stadium by chauffeur covers the drop-off, and the Roland-Garros section gathers the other articles. Access remains whatever the organiser announces.
