When she is not in office as director of the Roland-Garros tournament, Amélie Mauresmo spends happy days with her children far from the capital. Where does the former world number 1 live?
Since 2021, Amélie Mauresmo has been director of one of the most prestigious Grand Slam tournaments: Roland-Garros. A demanding role for the essential figure in French tennis, now 46 years old, but this challenge has never scared her.
Amélie Mauresmo installed far from Paris: “Prioritize life with children…”
So much so that she even decided to add challenge to her life by leaving the capital. It’s been a few years since the former player with 545 victories set down her bags on the Basque coast. “Today I feel very respected by the general public and frankly, where we live, we are in the Basque Country, there is nothing aggressive, from anything, from anyone. It’s out of respect”she declared last year on the set of Click.
Asked by Mouloud Achour about her hectic life, to say the least, Amélie Mauresmo said that she was perfectly successful in combining her career and her personal life. “Priority life with children, all the time available when they are not at school, and after work, sport”she clarified. Based in Anglet, a village located between Bayonne and Biarritz, the former world number 1 in her discipline has therefore succeeded in her challenge: to make the most of her two children, Aaron and Ayla.

Amélie Mauresmo therefore has a house with garden, swimming pool (as evidenced by her photos on Instagram) and wine cellar containing thousands of bottles, on the heights of the town of Anglet, an ideal refuge to get away from the competition and the tumult of Paris. Already in 2023, in the columns of Basque Coast Magazineshe expressed her love for this chosen life: “The people, the simplicity, in the first sense of the word. And then we are extremely privileged to have the mountains not far away and the ocean next door. I love running in the middle of this nature, this atmosphere”.
His ideal Sunday in his haven of peace? “A few outings with the children, so sport, cycling in the forest, walks with the dogs, beach depending on whether it is winter or summer”she confided to West France. Before concluding: “Afterwards, have lunch with friends, like Sunday chicken. Then we chill a little, we go for a leisurely walk in the evening and we feel good.” A dream life in the house of happiness.
