VINTAGE SCENES FROM THE FRENCH OPEN

From the moment we entered the Roland Garros grounds and were greeted by these friendly young people I knew this was a good place for the Vintage traveler.

By Mid afternoon we decided to take a break from the tennis to visit the Tennis Museum which was free to all attendees. 
Here are some of the vintage scenes from this great museum:

Oh yes, there was some tennis - we arrived at 10:30 am and headed home about 9:30pm and could have watched some more.  We had ground passes for day two of the 2012  tournament.  The passes allowed entry to all but three of the 16 courts at Roland Garros.   I purchased the tickets online the first day they were available to the general public which was in February (24 euros).
