République closed on October 26: how can you get back to the suburbs by RER tonight?

République station will not be served from 11 p.m. on Monday, October 26, 2026, while works will disrupt some branches of the RER A, B and D from 9:45 p.m. Connections, departure stations and replacement buses: here’s what you need to know to plan your journey back to the suburbs from Paris.

République station closed and several RER branches disrupted: getting back to the suburbs this Monday evening will take a little planning. In Paris, RATP says that République station will not be served on Monday, October 26, 2026, from 11 p.m. on lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11, as a safety measure requested by the Paris police headquarters. On RER lines A, B and D, engineering works will also require changes to routes, with the first service suspensions starting at 9:45 p.m., depending on the branch.

The new curfew applies to the République area, from 11 p.m. on Monday, October 26, until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, October 27. If you need to walk to another station, plan a route that complies with the affected area and the applicable exceptions.

How can you get to your RER without going through République?

If you were planning to change metro lines at République after 11 p.m., make other plans for your transfer. Depending on your route, you can head to Arts et Métiers for lines 3 and 11, Oberkampf for lines 5 and 9, or Strasbourg–Saint-Denis for lines 4, 8 and 9.

Then, to take the RER, choose your departure station based on your destination:

RER A: Gare de Lyon or Nation provide access to the line. However, evening service disruptions affect the Boissy-Saint-Léger and Cergy branches.
RER B: To reach Mitry–Claye or Paris–Charles-de-Gaulle Airport after 10:45 p.m., plan a journey that takes into account the interruption on the northern branches and the replacement buses.
RER D: Gare du Nord or Gare de Lyon provide access to the line, but disruptions are also planned toward Creil and on the route to Melun via Ris-Orangis.

Choosing the station isn’t enough: also check the last train serving your destination. A journey that starts on the RER may end on a replacement bus, adding to your travel time.

RER B: service suspended northbound from 10:45 p.m.

This Monday, October 26, 2026, the RER B service bulletin announces a disruption on the northern section of the line, toward Mitry–Claye and Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle 2–TGV, from 10:45 p.m. due to engineering works.

This service disruption is scheduled Monday to Friday through November 10 inclusive, with replacement buses. If you’re heading to northern Île-de-France or catching a flight, check where the buses depart from and allow extra time for connections.

RER A: service interruptions to Boissy-Saint-Léger and Cergy

On the RER A, two service suspensions for engineering work will affect, in particular, the return journey to the suburbs this Monday evening:

Boissy-Saint-Léger branch: service suspended between La Varenne–Chennevières and Boissy-Saint-Léger from 9:45 p.m. through October 29 inclusive.
Cergy branch: service suspended between Maisons-Laffitte and Cergy–Le Haut from 9:50 p.m., Monday to Friday through November 6 inclusive.

Replacement buses have been announced for these two service disruptions. From Paris, check which station to get off the train at and where to catch the bus to complete your journey.

RER D: service disruptions in the north and south

On the RER D, engineering work is also affecting several services late in the evening:

North: service suspended between Gare du Nord and Creil from 11:35 p.m., Monday to Friday, through and including October 30.
South: service suspended between Gare de Lyon and Melun via Ris-Orangis from 11:15 p.m., Monday to Wednesday, through and including October 30.

Replacement buses are planned. To get to Melun, pay attention to the route taken: the announced disruption affects the journey via Ris-Orangis. Check the timetable for your arrival station.

How to prepare for your return to the suburbs?

Enter your starting address and destination in the Île-de-France Mobilités journey planner, specifying the day and time you plan to return. Check every connection, especially if your usual route goes through République after 11 p.m., then check the RATP traffic information before setting out.

If your route involves walking around République, take the curfew zone into account. Also check the information for your bus route or Noctilien service to see whether there are any diversions or stops that are not being served.

For the final leg, compare the arrival time of the RER or replacement bus with that of the last connecting bus. Allow extra time for transfers and walking between stops: a few additional minutes can make all the difference in completing your journey.
