The Open Occitanie[1] (formerly known as the Open Sud de France and Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon) is a professional tennis tournament played on indoor hardcourts. It is currently part of the ATP Tour 250 series of the ATP Tour. Founded in 1987, it was held annually in October at the Palais des Sports de Gerland in Lyon until 2009, before being relocated at the Arena Montpellier in 2010.[2][3][4] There was no event in 2011 as the tournament moved to a January slot in 2012.[5]

The current venue now called Sud de France Arena holds 7,500 spectators for tennis events.[6] Since 2026, the tournament is one of two French events of the ATP Tour 250 series, along with the Open 13. It was one of four with the Lyon Open until 2025 and the Moselle Open until 2026.

History

In 1905 the Lyon Covered Court Championships were founded. It was an indoor wood court tennis tournament played at the Tennis Club of Lyon.

In 1951 its name was changed to the Georges Cozon International Cup also known as the Lyon International Indoor. It was a combined tennis event until 1972 when the women's event ended. It continued to be staged annually in Lyon until 1986. In 1987 it was succeeded by the Lyon Tennis Grand Prix or Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon.
