No matter what they say, the metro in Paris is incredibly handy. It allows you to get just about anywhere in no time at all (except for the bike, of course). However, often (too often) the journeys can turn into real escape games due to the frequent interruptions. And this weekend is no exception, with two of the busiest lines in the city completely closed this sunday. We’ll fill you in on all the details.
Line 14, a contradictory line
A few weeks ago, the purple line of the Paris network was voted among the best in the world. Given its reliability, speed, and comfort, it's easy to see why. The only problem, ...
this image is unfortunately way too dimmed by endless interruptions. Almost every week for years now, traffic is, for example, at a standstill certain evenings starting at 10 PM. And lately, complete closures have been happening way too often for our taste. This was the case on May 30 and 31, for example, and it's happening again this Sunday. Throughout the day, no trains will run between Saint-Denis Pleyel and Orly Airport, and no connections will be available. A replacement bus will operate between the stations Gare de Lyon and Olympiade. If you have a flight that day, we suggest you give yourself a little extra time![#travaux #ligne14] ⚠️ En raison de travaux, le trafic sera interrompu :
— Ligne 14 (@Ligne14_RATP) June 5, 2025
➡️ à partir de 22h sur l'ensemble de la ligne les mercredis 11, 18 et 25 juin, et 2, 9, 16 et 23 juillet.
➡️ toute la journée les dimanches 15 et 29 juin
➡️ du 4 au 8 août inclus.#RATP⬇️ pic.twitter.com/fXFSx1irOZ
On Line 6, ongoing works
The same battle continues on the green water line, which will be completely closed for the 112th time this year on Sunday, the 15th as well. Here's the scoop: no train between Charles de Gaulle – Étoile and Nation, and no connections either. But there's a little twist: 2 replacement buses will be running between Charles de Gaulle – Étoile and La Motte-Picquet – Grenelle, as well as between Daumesnil and Nation. In either case, these various closures are necessary due to modernization works of all kinds. And we're just getting started, as a number of interruptions are already announced for the weeks and months to come, especially this summer when no less than 9 lines will be affected…
