The list of metro stations closed for the November 14 demonstration in Paris has been announced. The RATP is closing 21 stations this Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the request of the Paris Police Prefecture: Châtelet and Les Halles from 10 a.m., followed by 19 other stations from 11 a.m.
Surprise of the day: the map of closures is not limited to the march in eastern Paris. It also traces a broad arc in the west, from the Champs-Élysées (8th arrondissement) to Les Invalides and Rue du Bac (7th arrondissement), passing through Place de la Concorde. Between 30,000 and 60,000 people are expected to turn out for this fifth Saturday of protests against the high cost of living, according to an intelligence brief cited by France 3 Paris Île-de-France.
From 10 a.m., two stations in the heart of Paris will close:
From 11 a.m., 19 stations are added to the list:
RATP also announced service disruptions on Line 6, between Kléber and Charles de Gaulle - Étoile, and on Line 11, between Hôtel de Ville and Châtelet.
At these stations, trains “will pass through without stopping,” the RATP says. Passengers will therefore be unable to board or alight, and connections will not be guaranteed.
No reopening time is set in advance: stations reopen only with authorization from the police prefecture. For real-time updates, check RATP traffic information and the Bonjour RATP app.
Line 1 is bearing the brunt, with ten stations closed, from Argentine to Reuilly - Diderot. It continues to serve Palais-Royal, Louvre-Rivoli, Hôtel de Ville, Saint-Paul, Gare de Lyon and Nation, but runs the entire length of the Champs-Élysées without stopping.
Line 8 is close behind: between Invalides, Concorde, Filles du Calvaire, Saint-Sébastien - Froissart, Chemin Vert, Bastille and Reuilly - Diderot, it loses a large part of its route, while République is already closed on this line for works until April 22, 2027. On the Left Bank, lines 12 and 13 skip several stops in the 7th arrondissement.
The good news, though, is that République and Nation, the starting and finishing points of the march, are not on the list. The march, which brings together all of the day’s demonstrations, sets off from République at 1 p.m. and heads to Nation via Bastille, as we explain in our guide to the November 14 demonstrations.
Line 14 remains a good option for crossing the capital, with one catch: it does not stop at Châtelet. It’s better to get off at Pyramides or Gare de Lyon, then walk the rest of the way. In the west, nearby stations outside the area (Saint-Augustin, Saint-Philippe-du-Roule, Palais-Royal) are good alternatives.
These closures are in addition to the weekend works: line 12 is closed between Jules Joffrin and Mairie d'Aubervilliers, and the RER D is not running between Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon. See our rundown of the lines to avoid this weekend, November 14 and 15.
The list may still change throughout the day, so it’s best to check the Île-de-France Mobilités app before setting off. Follow the updates in our daily metro, RER and train traffic report. And if you want to get out and avoid the crowds, our ideas for things to do this Saturday await elsewhere in the capital and in Île-de-France.
