Transport in Paris and the Île-de-France remains disrupted this weekend, November 7 and 8, 2026, the first since the end of the Toussaint school holidays. On Sunday, metro line 6 is closed all day between Charles de Gaulle-Étoile and Nation.
As for the RER, the RER B is not running as far as Mitry-Claye in Seine-et-Marne, and the RER D is stopping at Stade de France in Seine-Saint-Denis. The Transilien lines J and K are also losing sections in the Val-d'Oise and Oise.
On Saturday, Act IV of the Yellow Vest movement will coincide with construction work, two days after the November 5 strike. Before heading out, checking Île-de-France Mobilités, the RATP traffic updates or the Bonjour RATP app is still a good idea.
Yellow Vests Act IV: which stations could close on Saturday?
As of Wednesday, November 4: RATP has not yet announced any station closures linked to the demonstrations. On previous Saturdays, the list was released the evening before or on the morning of the demonstrations, at the request of the Paris Police Prefecture.
The Yellow Vests coordination is calling for the strike and blockades to continue on Friday, November 6, followed by demonstrations across France on Saturday, November 7. Organizers’ websites give Place de la Concorde at 2 p.m. as the meeting point. No route has yet been approved by the prefecture.
If the gathering goes ahead, the stations around Concorde are the most likely to be affected:
- Concorde (lines 1, 8 and 12) and Tuileries (line 1).
- Champs-Élysées–Clemenceau (lines 1 and 13) and Madeleine (lines 8, 12 and 14).
- Assemblée nationale (line 12) and Invalides (lines 8 and 13, RER C).
By way of reminder, around 40 metro and RER stations were closed during the October 31 demonstration. That precedent gives an idea of the possible scale, but does not indicate which stations will close on Saturday. Our traffic update for the day is updated as soon as closures are announced.
On Sunday, Line 6 is the metro’s main problem area: it will remain closed from the start to the end of service. On Saturday afternoon, everything will depend on the closures requested by the police prefecture around Concorde.
As for the RER, the RER B is suspended between Aulnay-sous-Bois and Mitry-Claye, and the RER D between Stade de France and Creil, all weekend. The RER C faces evening service suspensions as well as the closure of three stations in Essonne. On the Transilien network, lines J and K are the main ones affected by daytime service suspensions. The good news, however, is that line 13 will run as normal on Sunday.
On Sunday, November 8, the Line 6 is closed along its entire length for modernization work. This is the second-to-last day of this kind this year, with the next scheduled for Sunday, November 22.
Replacement buses are running between Charles de Gaulle-Étoile and La Motte-Picquet-Grenelle. To reach the Eiffel Tower, take the RER C (Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel) or Metro line 9 (Trocadéro). The rest of the metro network is affected by station closures:
Line 13, however, is not closing this Sunday: its next mornings without metro service are November 15 and 29, as detailed in our article on Line 13’s Sunday closures. Another work project to note starting Monday: Line 7bis will be closed all day from November 9 to 13, with replacement buses, according to Bonjour RATP’s schedule.
No daytime service disruptions are planned this weekend. The full schedule is available on the RER A works page.
The disruption affects the Mitry-Claye branch. If you’re traveling from or to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, keep an eye on the RER B website. For Orly, Line 14 remains the most direct route from central Paris.
If you’re returning from a weekend away via Essonne, it’s best to catch a train before 9 p.m. Follow the latest updates on our live RER C updates page.
To reach the northern part of Val-d'Oise, allow significantly more time for your journey. For details, visit our dedicated RER D page.
During the day, it is still possible to travel across Paris on the RER E. The line is being tracked in real time on our website.
Two lines will see daytime service suspensions this weekend, departing from Saint-Lazare and Gare du Nord. Line P will still have its late-evening service suspension.
The stops and timetables for replacement buses are available on Transilien SNCF and in the Île-de-France Mobilités app.
Good news for south Paris: the T3a tram has been running its full route between Stade Charléty and Porte d'Ivry since November 2. No tram service disruptions are expected this weekend.
On Saturday afternoon, if the gathering at Place de la Concorde goes ahead, several bus routes could be diverted around Rue de Rivoli, the Champs-Élysées and the riverbanks. It’s best to check your route just before setting off.
No transport strikes have been announced for this weekend so far. The November 5 strike was a one-day walkout at SNCF, with disruptions on the RER and Transilien networks and a near-normal metro service.
Two points remain to watch. The CGT is urging workers to decide at a general assembly how the movement should proceed, while the Yellow Vests are calling for the strike to continue on Friday. At the RATP, staff remain covered by the open-ended strike notice filed by CGT-RATP in late September.
On Saturday, the easiest option is still to plan outings in the morning or away from the Concorde area, the Tuileries and the lower end of the Champs-Élysées. In the evening, service disruptions on the RER C and RER E mean you’ll need to keep an eye on the time of the last train.
On Sunday, keep in mind that Line 6, which serves Montparnasse, Bir-Hakeim and Trocadéro, will be closed. As for the weather, our weekend forecast will help you choose between a stroll and an indoor outing. Long-distance trains can be tracked on SNCF Connect, and road conditions on Sytadin.
For an overview, see all the disruptions this week and our daily traffic update. Visitors passing through can consult our guide to ticket options since the end of paper tickets to choose the right one.
These detours are manageable, as long as you know about them before setting off. To fill your weekend, take your pick from our ideas for things to do on Saturday, Sunday’s schedule, this weekend’s flea markets and garage sales, or the week’s best deals.
