SPORT & SEASON
A football giant, a tennis major on red clay, and a bike race that ends on the Champs-Élysées.
PSG at the Parc
Ligue 1 runs August to May at the Parc des Princes, with European nights midweek. Buy through the club; resale prices are punishing.
Roland-Garros on clay
The French Open runs from late May into early June on the red clay of the sixteenth. Public tickets go through a ballot months earlier.
Tour de France finish
The race reaches Paris in July and the final circuits are free to watch from the pavement — arrive hours early for a spot on the barriers.
Swim in the Seine
The Joséphine Baker pool floats on the river in the thirteenth, costs a few euros and opens its roof in summer. Lanes, not lounging.
