The French Tennis Experience has been held twice, in 2022 and 2023, in the iconic cities of Paris and Lyon. Each edition brought together over 50 participants, both tennis players and enthusiasts alike.
Our exclusive program offers 7 nights of luxury accommodations in 5-star hotels and around 15 hours of tennis, played at some of the finest clubs in Paris and Lyon such as Stade Roland-Garros. While in Paris, participants can immerse themselves in the city's cultural riches, culminating in a spectacular private dinner cruise with front-row views of the Bastille Day fireworks.
The journey continues in Lyon, where we play at one of the oldest tennis clubs in France, and indeed Europe. Here, participants also get to explore the city's historic charm and enjoy the renowned wine region.
Tennis legends Mark Woodforde and Johan Kriek have been part of this unforgettable experience, making each trip truly special.

Smashing offers an exclusive program that provides our group with private access to the iconic Roland-Garros, home to one of the toughest Grand Slam tournaments. Over the years, Roland-Garros has attracted tennis legends like John McEnroe, Björn Borg, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Martina Hingis, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal.
Through a unique collaboration between the French Tennis Federation and Smashing, Roland-Garros opens its gates to non-professional players. This is a rare opportunity to play on the world’s most famous red clay courts. The venue is reserved exclusively for our group, with hostesses from the French Tennis Federation serving as your guides.
