Is your station back in service this Wednesday, October 21, 2026? After curfew-related closures in Paris, here are the confirmed resumptions in the metro and RER, the connections restored, and the restrictions still in place.

Paris metro and RER stations closed for security reasons are set to reopen on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 6:00 a.m., at the lifting of the curfew, as during the previous night. The reopening targets Châtelet, Les Halles, République and Châtelet–Les Halles, along with their connections. Closures linked to works remain in effect, notably at République on line 8 and at Saint-Michel on line 4.

Which stations are scheduled to reopen at 6 a.m.?

After the restrictions that came into effect at 10 p.m., travelers should be able to use the following stops:

  • Châtelet: metro lines 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14.
  • Les Halles: line 4.
  • République: lines 3, 5, 9 and 11.
  • Châtelet–Les Halles: RER A, B and D.

Connections that were suspended during the closure are also expected to resume once service restarts. On Line 11, also verify the restoration of the link between Hôtel de Ville and Châtelet, which was interrupted during the evening.

The RER B requires special attention: RATP has announced a service disruption between Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame and the Charles de Gaulle 2–TGV and Mitry–Claye branches starting at 10:45 p.m. For northbound trips or journeys to the airports, check the line bulletin before heading to your station.

How to check your commute this Wednesday morning?

The prefectural order no. 2026-01382 officially ends the curfew at 6 a.m. The expected reopening of stations at that hour will follow the same pattern as the day before, with details to be confirmed in the transport operators’ timetables.

Before you set off, check the RATP traffic bulletin and the Île-de-France Mobilités information. Verify your starting station, transfer point, and arrival stop: service resumed after safety measures does not rule out further disruptions along your route.
