Paris curfew: when will the metro and RER stations reopen on Thursday, October 22?

After another night under curfew in Paris, closed metro and RER stations are gradually welcoming back passengers on Thursday, October 22, 2026. Reopening times, connections, and potential disruptions: here’s what you need to know before you head out.

Paris’s metro and RER stations closed for safety reasons are set to reopen this Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 6 a.m., at the lifting of the curfew, as they did during the previous night. The expected restart covers Châtelet, Les Halles, République and Châtelet–Les Halles, as well as their interchanges. The work-related closures 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.

Which closures are persisting even after the curfew ends?

The removal of security measures does not mark the end of the planned work on the network. Several restrictions still apply:

République, ligne 8 : the stop will remain out of service for works through 22 avril 2027 inclus.
Saint-Michel, ligne 4 : the stop will remain out of service for works through 19 décembre 2026 inclus.
Ligne 2 : service remains interrupted between Père-Lachaise and Barbès–Rochechouart jusqu’au 25 octobre inclus. Replacement buses will be in operation.

How to check your commute Thursday 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.
