Another rough evening for commuters this Wednesday night. In Paris, several metro and RER stations will close from 10 p.m. on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, the RATP announced, at the request of the Prefecture of Police, ahead of a possible curfew. These security measures affect République, Châtelet, Châtelet–Les Halles and Les Halles. Trains will pass through without stopping, and transfers will not be possible.
Passengers should plan for an extra stop or a different transfer point for the following stations:
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.
On the RER B, service is suspended between Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame and Châtelet–Les Halles, from Wednesday, October 21 at 10 p.m. to Thursday, October 22 at 6 a.m.. The RATP notes that the disruption is a consequence of safety measures and ongoing works.
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.
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.
