Paris Île-de-France transport: Metro and RER disruptions from July 13 to 19, 2026

Metro, RER, Transilien, tramway: travel is heavily disrupted in Paris and the Île-de-France region from Monday, July 13 to Sunday, July 19, 2026. Two major events collide this week in the capital: the July 13 fireworks display, unusually moved forward by one day to leave July 14 for commemorations of the ten-year anniversary of the Nice attack, and the July 14 military parade on the Champs-Élysées, followed that same evening by the World Cup semifinal France–Spain (9:00 p.m., on M6). As a result, many stations will be closed in the 7th, 8th, 15th and 16th arrondissements, while summer work continues across the rest of the network.

Metro: which lines and stations will be closed on July 13 and 14?

Line 4 is hit the hardest, with a central section out of service. Lines 6, 8 and 9, which run along the Seine and the Champ de Mars, are the most affected by the fireworks safety measures.

• Line 1 : on July 14, certain stops will be out of service at Charles de Gaulle - Étoile, Tuileries, Concorde, Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George V and Argentine (security measures requested by the Police Prefecture).

On July 14, service will be interrupted between Trocadéro and Charles de Gaulle - Étoile.



• Line 8 : closures identical to Line 6 on July 13 from 6 p.m., then stops out of service on July 14 at Charles de Gaulle - Étoile, Tuileries, Concorde, Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George V and Argentine.



• Line 9 : on July 13 from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., Iéna station is closed (trains only stop to let passengers alight), and Rue de la Pompe is no longer served from 11 p.m. On July 14, the same stations are closed as on Line 1.



• Line 12 : on July 14, stops not served at Charles de Gaulle - Étoile, Tuileries, Concorde, Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George V and Argentine. From July 16 to 26 inclusive, service will be suspended between Jules Joffrin and Concorde for modernization works.

How to stay organized during Bastille Day closures?

Our advice: on July 13 and 14, skip the metro if you’re heading to the Champ de Mars or the Champs-Élysées. The stations serving the security perimeter will be shut en masse, and trains will roll through without stopping. Plan to get off well upstream (La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle, Invalides, or Saint-François-Xavier) and finish on foot, allowing twenty to thirty extra minutes of walking. The return, meanwhile, will be just as crowded: better to aim for a bridge or a vantage point a little farther afield than the Trocadéro.

To track real-time traffic developments, the simplest option is to consult the official sites of Île-de-France Mobilités, RATP, and Transilien SNCF, which keep their alerts updated throughout the day. Station closures tied to the festivities are decided by the Préfecture de Police de Paris and can change up until the last moment. The full details are in our article on la liste des stations de métro et RER fermées ce 13 juillet pour le feu d'artifice, and in the piece dedicated to la liste des stations de métro fermées à Paris le 14 juillet 2026 pour le défilé.
