In Paris, République station will not be served on lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11 from 11 p.m. this Monday, October 26, 2026, as a security measure requested by the Paris Police Prefecture. On the RER B, a service interruption for works is scheduled from 10:45 p.m. north of Châtelet–Les Halles. Here’s what you need to know to plan your journey home.

République station will not be served from 11 p.m. on Monday, October 26, 2026, in Paris. RATP notices announce the closure on lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11, for safety measures requested by the Police Prefecture. No reopening time has been specified.

This restriction accompanies the new curfew announced from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., overnight from Monday, October 26, to Tuesday, October 27, in the République area. The zone is smaller than on previous nights: according to Le Parisien, citing details from the Police Prefecture, the Châtelet–Les Halles area is no longer covered by the curfew.

Which metro lines are affected at République this Monday evening?

Official RATP notices state that République will not be served from 11 p.m. on Monday, October 26 on the following lines:

On Line 8, the station is already closed due to renovation work. A separate notice now outlines the safety measures for this Monday evening.

To get to or leave the neighborhood after 11 p.m., plan to use a different stop and check that your walk remains within the area covered by the curfew. The notices reviewed do not spell out the transfer arrangements at République: also plan to change at a different station if your route goes through there.

Châtelet, Les Halles and the RER: will closures be extended?

No new overnight security closure at Châtelet, Les Halles or Châtelet–Les Halles has been announced for Monday evening in the line bulletins consulted. The earlier Bonjour RATP announcement, updated on Friday, October 23 at 4:30 p.m., does not confirm that the closure will be repeated overnight from October 26 to 27.

The closures announced on previous nights at Châtelet on lines 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14, at Les Halles on line 4, and at Châtelet–Les Halles on RER lines A, B and D are therefore not going ahead this Monday evening. The same applies to the interruption of line 11 between Hôtel de Ville and Châtelet from 10 p.m.

However, the absence of a new announcement does not in itself confirm that service has resumed or guarantee service throughout the evening. Check the RATP traffic updates before setting out.

RER B: service suspended for engineering works from 10:45 p.m.

On the RER B, the official notice announces a service interruption between Châtelet–Les Halles and the Mitry–Claye and Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle 2–TGV branches, Monday to Friday from 10:45 p.m. through November 10 inclusive, due to track work.

This service disruption also applies on the evening of Monday, October 26. Replacement buses have been announced. It should be distinguished from the security measures taken at République: the current notice lists Châtelet–Les Halles as the limit of the disruption, not Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame.

How to prepare for your return and the trip the next day?

Check your entire journey before setting off, taking into account your destination stop and every connection. The Île-de-France Mobilités journey planner and RATP traffic information can help you find an alternative route.

On line 7, another closure has been announced for the following day: Sully–Morland will not be served on Tuesday, October 27, from 9:30 a.m., as a safety measure, according to the RATP bulletin. No reopening time has been given.

If you’re leaving on Tuesday morning, check service before heading to your station. The end of the 6 a.m. curfew should not be presented as a confirmed reopening time for République by RATP.
