The largest venue, Court Philippe‑Chatrier, accommodates 15,000 spectators.

Completed in 1928 as France geared up to defend its Davis Cup crown during an era dominated by the Four Musketeers — Jean Borotra, Jacques Brugnon, Henri Cochet and René Lacoste.

Each stand at Court Philippe‑Chatrier bears the name of one of the Four Musketeers.
