Filming at Roland-Garros — Fixer & Production Support for the French Open
Roland-Garros is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments and the most prestigious clay-court event in the world. Held annually at the Stade Roland-Garros in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, the French Open attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators, thousands of media professionals, and a global television audience of hundreds of millions.
Whether you are producing broadcast coverage, a documentary, branded content, news segments, or social media content around the tournament, you need a local fixer who knows the venue, the accreditation process, the surrounding logistics, and the city.
What We Provide During Roland-Garros
Accreditation and access support. Media accreditation for Roland-Garros is managed by the FFT (Fédération Française de Tennis). We guide you through the application process, advise on deadlines and requirements, and help coordinate your on-site access plan.
Crew sourcing. We provide experienced bilingual crew — camera operators, sound recordists, DPs, producers, runners — who are familiar with working in and around the Roland-Garros venue. Crew sourcing details.
Location scouting around the venue. Many productions need locations beyond the stadium itself — rooftop terraces with a view of the Bois de Boulogne, Parisian cafés for atmospheric cutaways, training facilities, player hotels, fan zones. We scout and secure these locations.
Permits. Filming in the streets around the Stade Roland-Garros, in the Bois de Boulogne, and in the 16th arrondissement requires permits from the city of Paris. We handle the full permit process.
Equipment rental. From ENG kits to cinema camera packages, we coordinate equipment rental and delivery to your base near the venue.
Logistics. Transport, accommodation, edit suites, satellite coordination, catering — our production services cover everything you need during the tournament window.
