    There's no need to be Serena Williams or Andre Agassi to pla tennis in Paris. Though in this case obviously nobody will let you do so at Rolland Garros during the tournament :))

    But there are municipal courts you might use, if you do not wish to pay huge court rental fees for private clubs. To play on municipal courts you have to apply for a Carte Paris-Tennis from the Mairie, the city authorities, I mean. With French beaurocracy it might be a hazard to your health and sanity but, if you survive, you'll be able to enjoy the courts as if you where a local. The rent is 6 euros at day and 9 euros at night, becuase of the floodlight. But keep in mind that in evening it might be more comfortable to play
    since it is cooler.
