Further disruption is expected on Paris’s public transport network this weekend. Due to engineering works, service will be suspended on Metro line 12 all day on Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, 2026. Which stations are affected, and what alternatives are available? Here’s everything you need to know.

To adapt the infrastructure for the arrival of the future MF19 metro trains, work continues underground. Several disruptions are therefore expected on the Paris metro’s Line 13 by the end of the year.

Line 12 will also be affected by this work. On its website, the RATP announced that service will be disrupted on the line toward the end of 2026. Specifically, Line 12 will be closed between Jules Joffrin and Mairie d'Aubervilliers stations from Saturday, November 14, through Sunday, November 15, all day.

For two days, six stations north of the line will not be served. These are Marcadet-Poissonniers, Marx Dormoy, Porte de la Chapelle, Front Populaire, Aimé Césaire and Mairie d'Aubervilliers, the current terminus. What does this mean? Jules Joffrin station will become the temporary terminus while the work is underway.

Service suspended on Line 12: what are the alternatives?

To allow passengers to travel to Aubervilliers from the north of Paris, RATP has announced that it will operate a replacement bus. It will serve the stations affected by the closure.

Alternatively, you can take bus No. 60 to the Evangile - Aubervilliers stop, then take bus No. 35 and get off at Villebois - Mareuil in Aubervilliers.
