This summer 2026, like many of its peers, Metro Line 13 will be interrupted on several occasions, the longest lasting 18 days, between Saint-Denis Université and La Fourche.

Every year, the Parismetro network continues to evolve. But to do so, it is necessary to carry out some work from time to time, and what better time than the summer, when Parisians leave the capital for sunnier destinations, to interrupt a few lines! The RATP has planned numerous closures, with four metro lines affected, including line 13.

For this line, well-used by Parisian commuters, service will be suspended north of the city, between Saint-Denis Université and La Fourche, for 18 days, from July 31 to August 17, 2026, due to the line’s upcoming automation and the renewal of track equipment. Note that La Fourche station will remain open on the Asnières Gennevilliers branch!

These are not the only works planned for this summer 2026, as trains will not serve the station Porte de Vanves from August 6 to 9, 2026 inclusive, and the entire line will be closed on Sunday mornings August 2, 16 and 30. While the last two closures may not impact travelers too much, residents of Seine-Saint-Denis who regularly use Line 13 will have to seek alternatives in the meantime!
