July 14, 2024 in Paris: RATP, metro stations closed for the National Holiday

Every July 14th, it's the same thing in Paris: the transport system is driving us crazy! It's hard to get to Paris by car, because of the closed areas and traffic restrictions. But the RATP continues to operate, albeit with a few closed metro stations. Find out which lines to avoid and which ones to use today.

To make the most of July 14, 2024 in Paris, you'll need to get organized by checking which areas are inaccessible and which metro and tramway stations are not closed.

This July 14, 2024, and as every year due to the military parade, parking and traffic restrictions are being put in place by the Préfecture de police. So if you're planning to travel by car or bus this Sunday, be prepared.

" The organization of this ceremony means that temporary traffic and parking measures must be taken, both to prepare for it and to ensure that it runs smoothly," explains the Préfecture de police in a press release, which also announces " measures prohibiting the parking of all vehicles between July 7 (limited to avenue Bugeaud) and 2pm on July 14 in certain streets " located in the 8th, 16th and 17th arrondissements of Paris.
