Virginie Razzano and Iva Majoli were the defending champions but only Razzano competed that year with Émilie Loit.

Loit and Razzano lost in the first round to Jelena Dokić and Magdalena Maleeva.

Nathalie Dechy and Meilen Tu won the final on a walkover when Janette Husárová and Elena Dementieva were forced to withdraw when Dementieva developed bronchitis.[1]
