Transport in Paris and Île-de-France will remain disrupted this weekend, November 14 and 15, 2026. The biggest disruption affects the RER D, which will be shut down on Saturday and Sunday between Gare du Nord (10th arrondissement) and Gare de Lyon (12th arrondissement), with no stop at Stade de France in Seine-Saint-Denis. On the metro, Line 12 will not run between Jules Joffrin (18th arrondissement) and Mairie d'Aubervilliers, and Line 13 will remain closed on Sunday morning.
Several demonstrations are also scheduled in Paris on Saturday, from Place de la Concorde to Trocadéro in the morning, then around Place de la République in the afternoon. In the evening, service is disrupted on the RER E and Transilien lines L, P and U, in Seine-et-Marne, Yvelines and Hauts-de-Seine.
Before setting off, checking Île-de-France Mobilités, the RATP traffic updates or the Bonjour RATP app is still a good idea. Here are the details, line by line.
November 14 protests: which stations could close on Saturday?
As of Wednesday, November 11: no routes have yet been approved by the Paris Police Prefecture, and RATP has not published a list of station closures. During protests, the transit authority closes stations at the prefecture’s request, and the list is generally released the day before or on the morning of the event.
Three events are scheduled in Paris on Saturday:
- From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., a march calling for a treaty on artificial intelligence, organized by the Pause IA and Stop The AI Race groups, will set off from Place de la Concorde (8th arrondissement) and head to Trocadéro (16th arrondissement), according to Evous’s events calendar.
- At 2 p.m., the Enfantiste collective is calling for a protest against violence against children and teenagers. The Yellow Vests coordination’s map shows the march starting at Place de la République, but the collective has not yet confirmed the location or published a route.
- A protest in the Île-de-France region against the so-called “license to kill” law is being promoted by Solidaires 93, but no location or time has been announced yet.
For their Act V, the Yellow Vests are not organizing their own march: their coordination is urging people to join the Enfantiste march and the September 26 movement rally. On November 7, RATP closed 14 stations around the République–Nation corridor and Place de la Concorde.
The stations to watch, then, are Concorde (lines 1, 8 and 12), Trocadéro (lines 6 and 9) and République (lines 3, 5, 9 and 11), although no closures have been announced at this stage. We’re covering the protests in our article on the Yellow Vests, and today’s closures in our daily traffic update.
On Friday evening, France’s national rugby team takes on South Africa at the Stade de France. With RER D service suspended in the evening between Paris Nord and Creil, RER B (La Plaine–Stade de France) and line 14 (Saint-Denis Pleyel) are the best options for the return journey.
The RER D is the weekend’s biggest problem: no trains will run between Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon on either Saturday or Sunday. On the metro, the line 12 will be closed on its northern section all weekend, and the line 13 will not run before noon on Sunday.
On Saturday, keep an eye on the areas around Concorde, Trocadéro and République. In the evening, the RER E and Transilien lines L, P and U will all be suspended. The good news, however, is that line 6 is running normally and line 7bis is reopening after a week-long closure.
The two lines are preparing for the arrival of the new MF19 trains. On line 13, this means Sunday morning closures, as detailed in Bonjour RATP’s schedule.
To reach northern Paris and Saint-Ouen, take line 4 (Marcadet-Poissonniers) or line 14 (Mairie de Saint-Ouen) instead of line 12. On line 13, it’s best to plan Sunday trips for the afternoon. There will still be two more Sundays with no morning metro service, on November 29 and December 13, as our article on Sundays when line 13 is closed points out. As for line 6, its last full day of closure this year is scheduled for Sunday, November 22.
No service disruptions are planned this weekend. Evening service interruptions resume from November 16 to 27 between Maisons-Laffitte and Cergy-le-Haut. The full schedule is available on the RER A works page.
The line is running normally this weekend, both towards Roissy-Charles de Gaulle and towards Mitry-Claye. The next closure between Aulnay-sous-Bois and Mitry-Claye is scheduled for November 21 and 22, according to the RER B website. For Orly, line 14 remains the most direct option from central Paris.
No daytime service disruptions are listed among the work announced for this weekend, and Athis-Mons, Ablon and Villeneuve-le-Roi stations, which were closed last weekend, are no longer affected. Before a late-night return via Essonne, it’s wise to check the interactive work schedule. Updates are also available on our live RER C page.
On the northern side, Louvres town hall reports four trains an hour instead of eight this weekend. To cross Paris, passengers can use the RER B between Gare du Nord and Châtelet–Les Halles, or Line 14 between Saint-Denis Pleyel and Gare de Lyon. Full details are available on the RER D blog and on our page dedicated to the RER D.
Replacement buses are running. During the day, it is still possible to travel across Paris along the entire line, as shown by the RER E traffic updates and our live updates.
This weekend, disruptions are concentrated in the evening. Lines J and K, which were heavily affected last weekend, are not included in the works announced for these two days.
The stops and timetables for replacement buses are available on Transilien SNCF and in the Île-de-France Mobilités app.
No tram service disruptions are listed in the schedules consulted for this weekend. As for buses, routes 21, 54, 137, 237 and 274 will run more frequently on Sunday morning while line 13 is closed.
On Saturday morning, buses running along the Concorde, Cours-la-Reine and around the Trocadéro may be diverted as the march passes. In the afternoon, routes serving Place de la République are more likely to be changed. It’s best to check your route just before setting off.
No transport strikes have been announced for this weekend. At RATP, employees remain covered by the indefinite strike notice filed by CGT-RATP in late September, but no specific call has been issued for Saturday or Sunday.
The next phase of the labor movement will unfold during the week: a new day of strikes and protests has been announced for Tuesday, November 17, as explained in our article on the November 17 mobilization, followed by a march by retirees on Thursday, November 19, detailed in our article on the route of the retirees’ march.
On Saturday, the easiest option is to avoid Concorde and Trocadéro in the late morning, then the République district in the afternoon. To cross Paris from north to south without taking the RER D, line 14 remains the fastest option. In the evening, disruptions to the RER E and lines L, P and U mean you’ll need to keep an eye on the time of the last train.
On Sunday morning, plan to take a detour if you’re relying on Line 13, which serves Montparnasse, Invalides and Saint-Lazare. As for the weather, our weekend forecast calls for a sunny, cold Saturday, followed by a grayer Sunday. Check long-distance trains on SNCF Connect, airports on Paris Aéroport 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.
