Which metro and RER stations close after 10 p.m.?

Passengers should plan for an extra stop or a different transfer point for the following stations:

  • Châtelet: Metro lines 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14.
  • Les Halles: Line 4.
  • République: Lines 3, 5, 9 and 11. Line 8 is already not serving this station because of construction work.
  • Châtelet–Les Halles: RER A, B and D.
  • Trocadéro: Lines 6 and 9.

The shutdown of transfer options also affects passengers simply passing through Paris who do not intend to get off. On Line 11, the RATP also reports a disruption between Hôtel de Ville and Châtelet from 10 p.m.

RER B: service disruption between Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame and Châtelet–Les Halles

On the RER B, service is suspended between Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame and Châtelet–Les Halles. RATP says the suspension is due to security measures and construction work.

To continue their journey beyond Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame, travelers are advised to use the connections at Denfert-Rochereau, according to the RER B bulletin. It’s wise to plan for this change before heading into central Paris.

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

Check your entire route before you depart, taking into account the final stop and any line changes. The Île-de-France Mobilités planner and the RATP traffic information can help you find an alternative itinerary.

For an early Wednesday departure, check the service resumption on your line: The 6:00 a.m. timetable announced for the RER B disruption does not confirm that all stations will reopen at that time. Transport schedules should also be distinguished from curfew measures.
