Metro, RER: maintenance and disruptions from October 19 to 25, 2026

Transport in Paris and Île-de-France remains disrupted from October 19 to 25, 2026, with Line 2 of the metro closed during the Toussaint holidays and works on the RER and Transilien.

The transit network in Paris and across Île-de-France is entering a week that should be calmer socially, but still busy with construction. From Monday, October 19 to Sunday, October 25, 2026, the Metro Line 2 is disrupted in northeast Paris, between the 9th, 10th, 18th, 19th and 20th arrondissements.

The RER and the Transilien are also carrying out maintenance work, especially in the evenings and on weekends. The disruptions affect the Val-d'Oise, the Yvelines, the Essonne, the Seine-et-Marne, the Val-de-Marne and Seine-Saint-Denis.

Last weekend, the October 17 demonstration triggered widespread disruptions, with numerous metro closures (a list of 25 stations was published first thing in the morning). This week, there are no announced strikes at either RATP or SNCF. Before you head out, a quick check of Île-de-France Mobilités, the RATP, or Transilien SNCF is still the smart move. We’ve done the legwork for you, line by line.

Metro Line 2: Which stations are closed during All Saints’ Day?

It's this week's big works project. From October 19 to 25 inclusive, Line 2 will not run between Père Lachaise and Barbès-Rochechouart due to renovation work. Seven stations are closed: Ménilmontant, Couronnes, Belleville, Colonel Fabien, Jaurès, Stalingrad and La Chapelle. All the details are in our article on this project.

The section affected covers the elevated part of the line, the segment that crosses Boulevard de la Chapelle. To bypass the work, Belleville will continue to be served by line 11, Stalingrad by lines 5 and 7, and Jaurès by lines 5 and 7bis. The RATP has scheduled the work during school holidays to minimize disruption to daily commutes, but travelers should expect a few extra minutes on their journeys.

Metro: which other lines are disrupted this week?

Line 2: from October 19 to 25 inclusive, service is suspended between Père Lachaise and Barbès-Rochechouart due to renovation work.
Line 4: until December 19 inclusive, Saint-Michel station is not served due to renovation work. Here’s what you need to know about this project.

In Saint-Michel, the Odéon and Cité stations stay open on Line 4, just a short walk away. On Line 8, Strasbourg-Saint-Denis and Filles du Calvaire connect you to the 3rd, 10th and 11th arrondissements.
