2009 French Open @ Roland Garros ???

So, guess what's happening in Paris while I'm there...


Yep, the 2009 French Tennis Open is on from May 24th to June 7th. The tour we're on arrives in Paris on the afternoon of June 5th for a two night stay, which means we'll have a full day in Paris on Saturday June 6th (which just happens to be the Women's Singles final).

Getting a ticket wouldn't be all that easy and given the recent Australian Open Womens' final only went for 59 minutes, I think it would be a little crazy to pay over $700 for a ticket though a broker, even though it's probably a once in a lifetime event.

But I'm sure I'll find plenty to do during my time in Paris. I know Mum wants to see the Palace of Versailles, but I was lucky enough to see it in May 2008, so this might be a good chance for her to get out and see it, and I might stick to Paris. Guess we'll have to wait and see what the options are for that day.
