Like every year, to celebrate the new year, the public transport in the capital will be running on new schedules to adjust the service to the night's crowds. While this change usually means trains running all night, this year, there's also a not-so-great piece of news: the closure of no less than 15 stations throughout the evening – some even starting from 2 PM.
It’s Party Time!
Tomorrow night is the big moment! The end of a sometimes challenging year, full of emotions. And to celebrate our survival through 365 new days, the city of Paris honors us as it does every year by organizing elaborate celebrations on the most beautiful streets!
the avenue of the world, also known as the Champs-Élysées. However, to ensure the smooth running of the festivities, the Paris prefecture has decided to implement some measures, including the closure of certain metro stations.Specifically, no fewer than 15 stations located near the Champs-Élysées, scattered across lines 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 12, and 13 of the metro as well as on the RER A, will be closed. This is a tough blow that comes in addition to the cancellation of the traditional concert on December 31. Here are the details:
Argentine (1): from 2 PM
Boissière (6): from 4 PM
Champs-Élysées - Clémenceau (1, 13): from 4 PM
Charles de Gaulle - Étoile (1, 2, 6, A): from 2 PM to 1 AM
Concorde (1, 8, 12): from 4 PM to 1 AM
Dupleix (6): from 9 PM
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1, 9): from 4 PM to 1 AM
George V (1): from 4 PM to 1 AM
Iéna (9): starting at 4 PM
Kleber (6): from 2 PM to 1 AM
Passy (6): starting at 9 PM
Saint-Philippe-du-Roule (9): starting at 4 PM.
Ternes (2): starting at 12:10 AM
Trocadéro (6): from 4 PM to 1 AM
Tuileries (1): starting at 4 PM
Something to Lift Your Spirits
Luckily, there's no need to be too dramatic, as this closure is nicely balanced out by the fact that no less than 65 stations will be open all night throughout the metro… including the stations Charles-de-Gaulle-Étoile, Kléber, and Trocadéro, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Concorde, and George V as soon as they reopen at 1 AM! For those living in the area, it just means you'll have to take a little patience, and not head home too early. But on a night like this, that shouldn't be a problem…
Londres l'a fait, New York l'a fait, Berlin l'a fait. Demain, Paris le fera.
