The French Open runs on the clay of Roland Garros in western Paris from late May into early June, the one Grand Slam played on clay and a fixture of the European spring. A trip usually means flights, several nights in Paris and a ticket bought well ahead, so it is worth protecting. Compare plans for your exact trip below.
Planning your trip
Paris in late spring is busy and warm, with the odd thunderstorm that can suspend play on the outer courts.
The tournament overlaps a popular travel season in Paris, so hotels near the 16th arrondissement and across the city fill early.
Order of play is set day by day, so which stars you see can change after you have booked.
Non EU visitors pay for their own medical care in France, and costs add up quickly without cover.
What cover to look for
- Overseas medical and repatriation cover is the priority for a trip to France from outside Europe.
- Trip cancellation cover, with your Roland Garros ticket value included in the trip cost, can protect prepaid spend if you cannot travel for a covered reason. Check each plan for what counts as covered.
- Travel delay and missed connection cover helps if a flight delay eats into a session you have paid for.
- If you are pairing the tennis with wider European travel, check that every country on your route is covered.
French Open travel insurance: FAQs
Does travel insurance cover French Open tickets?+
Not by themselves. You generally need trip cancellation cover and you include the ticket value in your total trip cost. If you then cannot travel for a reason the policy covers, the prepaid spend can be reimbursed. Always read the plan for covered reasons and exclusions.
What cover do I need for a trip to Paris?+
Overseas medical and repatriation cover first, then trip cancellation to protect prepaid tickets, flights and hotels, plus baggage and travel delay cover. Compare plans above for your exact dates.
Does Event Escapes offer travel insurance?+
Yes. You can compare travel insurance plans for your trip directly on Event Escapes and buy the one that suits you. Cover is arranged through our licensed insurance partner, and the policy is issued by the insurer named on your plan.
What does travel insurance cover?+
Most plans cover emergency medical and hospital costs overseas, repatriation, trip cancellation and interruption, travel delays, and lost or delayed baggage. Higher tiers can add cover for winter sports, adventure activities and higher benefit limits. Always check the plan details for exact limits and exclusions.
Does an excess apply on a travel insurance claim?+
An excess is the amount you pay towards a claim. Whether one applies, and how much, is set by the insurer and varies by plan, not by Event Escapes. We do not receive the excess figure in the quote, so always check the excess in the insurer’s policy documents before you buy.
Can travel insurance cover my event tickets?+
When you add trip cancellation cover and include the value of your tickets in your total trip cost, the money you have spent on event tickets, hotels and flights can be protected if you have to cancel or cut your trip short for a covered reason. Check each plan for what counts as a covered reason.
Can I still get cover if my trip is already booked?+
Yes. You can compare and buy travel insurance whether or not you booked your trip through Event Escapes. It is best to buy soon after booking so cancellation cover applies from the earliest possible date.
When should I buy travel insurance?+
Buy as soon as you have booked and paid for any part of your trip. Cancellation cover generally starts from the day you buy the policy, so buying early protects your deposits and non refundable bookings for longer.
Who is the insurer and who handles claims?+
Event Escapes is not the insurer. Each plan is provided and issued by a regulated insurer, and claims and emergency assistance are handled by that insurer or its appointed team. The insurer, policy documents and claims details are shown before you buy.

Comparison information only. Event Escapes is not an insurer and does not provide insurance advice. Cover is arranged through a licensed insurance partner, and each policy is provided and issued by the regulated insurer named on the plan. Travel insurance covers your ability to travel, not whether an event goes ahead. Cover, limits and exclusions vary by plan and by your country of residence and destination. An excess, the amount you pay towards a claim, may apply and is set by the insurer, so check the excess in the policy documents before you buy. Always read the plan details, the insurance product information and the policy terms before you buy.
