What time will metro services resume after the overnight closures? If you’re travelling in Paris on the mornings of Saturday, October 24, Sunday, October 25, and Monday, October 26, 2026, check service at Châtelet, Les Halles, République and Châtelet–Les Halles before setting off. The RATP is extending their closure from 10 p.m. every evening through Sunday, October 25 inclusive, at the request of the Paris police prefecture and for security reasons. Its notices do not specify a morning reopening time.
The end of the 6 a.m. curfew does not mean that transport services have been confirmed as resuming. Traffic restrictions in certain areas of République and Les Halles, and station closures, are covered by separate measures. Further measures are also planned for Saturday from 9 a.m. for the demonstration.
The measures announced from 10 p.m. for the evenings of October 23, 24 and 25 apply to the following stations and lines:
During these closures, trains pass through without stopping and connections are suspended. So before setting off the next day, be sure to check your interchange station too. On Line 11, the restoration of service between Hôtel de Ville and Châtelet, which was suspended as part of the overnight operation, is also something to check.
For the evening of Friday, October 23, the RER B service update announces two successive restrictions: Châtelet–Les Halles closes from 10 p.m., then service is suspended from 10:45 p.m. between Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame and the Mitry–Claye and Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle 2–TGV branches. The RATP recommends using connections at Denfert-Rochereau to continue your journey.
The general notice specifies that this additional service interruption applies only on weekday evenings through Friday, October 23. It therefore does not announce an interruption on Saturday or Sunday nights. If you’re travelling north or to the airport on Saturday morning, however, check the latest service updates: no resumption time was provided with the closure announcement cited.
Service resuming after the night does not guarantee that it will run all day. On Saturday, October 24, the RATP announced a separate plan for the protest, starting at 9 a.m., with stations closed and several sections suspended:
For this daytime measure, the RATP says reopening is subject to authorization from the Police Prefecture. No general reopening time has been announced for these closures: check the affected lines’ service updates before travelling.
Closures for maintenance work follow their own schedule, independently of security measures:
Service resuming on the other lines at République will therefore not mean that line 8 resumes service there. Likewise, the Saint-Michel metro station on line 4 should be distinguished from the Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame RER station.
Check the RATP traffic bulletin and Île-de-France Mobilités updates, then plan your journey by entering the date and time of travel. Check your departure station, each connection and your destination: trains may run on a line without stopping at every station.
Finally, the disappearance of an alert is not enough to confirm that a station has reopened. If your journey depends on a closed station, look for explicit information confirming that it is being served, or check with staff before setting off.
