For each of the four affected stations, the exterior access will be closed, the stop won’t be marked by the trains, and of course, no connections will be available, including with the RER at Charles de Gaulle – Étoile.

Their day's agenda includes a detour via the Arc de Triomphe to attend the ceremony of rekindling the flame, and a visit to Emmanuel Grégoire's new office. A decision has been made to close nearby stations to ensure their safety and the smooth running of their visit. Now you know who to direct your complaints to…
