This Saturday, May 30, 2026, the city of Paris will be buzzing for the Champions League final of its club, Paris Saint-Germain. To prevent disturbances, the Police Prefecture chose to act in advance by closing certain metro stations, and even some Vélib' bike docks. Here is the list to help you get ready in time!

Things are set to pile up this Saturday, May 30, 2026 for Parisians wandering the capital! Because of the Champions League final in Paris Saint-Germain, the Paris Police Prefecture has ordered closures of both metro stations and Vélib, starting Friday evening. Dozens of sites are affected, in strategic areas around the Champs-Élysées, the Parc des Princes and the Champ-de-Mars.
