Several metro and RER stations in Paris will close from 10 p.m. on Friday, October 23, Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026. At the request of the Paris Police Prefecture and for security reasons, the RATP is extending the nighttime closures of République, Châtelet, Les Halles and Châtelet–Les Halles. Trains on the affected lines will not stop at these stations, and connections will not be available.
These transport restrictions come alongside the extension of the curfew in certain areas of République and Les Halles, every night from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., through the morning of Monday, October 26. The timings remain different: stations begin closing one hour before the ban on travel takes effect in the affected areas.
In its update on Friday, October 23 at 4:30 p.m., Bonjour RATP lists the following stations and lines:
The suspension of connections also affects passengers who simply want to change lines without exiting the station. You should therefore plan to change at another station, even if your departure and destination stations remain in service.
On line 11, RATP also announced an suspension of service between Hôtel de Ville and Châtelet from 10 p.m. On the other affected lines, trains continue on their route without stopping at closed stations, subject to other disruptions.
These overnight closures will remain in effect through Sunday, October 25. They are separate from the arrangements planned from 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 24, for the demonstration.
On the RER B, two different times should be noted this Friday, October 23. Châtelet–Les Halles closes at 10 p.m., and trains will not stop there. The line bulletin then announces a suspension of service from 10:45 p.m. between Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame and the Mitry–Claye and Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle 2–TGV branches.
The general notice states that this interruption, due to a combination of security measures and construction work, affects weekday evenings only, through Friday, October 23. It should therefore not be presented as automatically continuing on Saturday and Sunday.
To continue their journey beyond Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame, passengers are advised to transfer at Denfert-Rochereau, the RATP says. Plan ahead for this change and check the suggested route to your destination, especially if you’re heading to northern Île-de-France.
Check your entire route before setting off, taking your destination stop and every connection into account. The Île-de-France Mobilités journey planner and RATP traffic updates can help you find an alternative route. If it involves walking, make sure you can reach your destination while complying with restrictions in areas subject to curfew.
On Line 7, another change affects passengers this Friday: Sully–Morland is closed until further notice as a security measure requested by the Paris Police Prefecture. Trains are not stopping there.
If you’re heading out the next morning, check that service has resumed before making your way to your station. The overnight announcements cited do not give a specific time for morning service to resume. The end of the curfew at 6 a.m. should therefore not be presented as a resumption time confirmed by RATP.
