Nothing ever changes on Bastille Day: public transportations drive us crazy! You cannot use your car because of traffic jam, but the RATP keeps on working yet with metro stations closed. Discover lines to avoid and those to ride.
To make the most of Bastille Day 2020 in Paris, without having to look for a spot to park for hours, how about rideing public transit? Note that as usual, several metro stations are closed on Bastille day in the morning around the Champs-Elysées and the Concorde because of the military parade, and in the evening, a large perimeter around the Eiffel Tower for the firework that will take place on special conditions this year because of the health situation.
