Metro line 6: Bir-Hakeim station closed for four months from the end of October

It's about to get a whole lot harder to get down to the foot of the Eiffel Tower on the metro, starting October 30, 2023. The Bir-Hakeim station, closest to the capital's iconic monument, will close for several months to give the staircases a facelift, so that they are ready to receive the millions of visitors during the Olympic Games. So, from the end of October to February 4, 2024 inclusive, you'll have to go down to Passy or Dupleix instead!

During these four months of closure, trains will of course run, but will not stop. The connection to the RER C platforms will also be unavailable. Line 6 has been undergoing modernization for several months, and is one of Parisians' most popular lines for its aerial views of the Iron Lady and the Seine. Since the beginning of the year, new trains have made their appearance on the light-green metro, which crosses the capital from Nation to Charles de Gaulle - Etoile.

In addition, line 6 will be partially interrupted between Charles de Gaulle - Etoile and Trocadéro stations from November 2 to 6, 2023, in order to continue adapting infrastructure and modernizing facilities.
