Summer continues in the Paris metro, which means disruptions, closures, and other delightful challenges that require us to rethink all our travel routes. While lines 4, 5, 8, and 13 are among those it's better to avoid because they will be under construction or particularly crowded, line 12 won't escape this either. In addition to various temporary interruptions until August, from July 16 to 26, ten of its stations will not be served.

Work to Modernize the Network
We still have August ahead, during which Line 12 might occasionally let us down. It will be completely closed starting at 10 PM on August 19, 23, 26, and 30, 2026.
These many upgrades are happening due to the arrival of the new MF19 metros on the line. This is also the case for Line 13. These new trains help to regenerate and develop the network, while also ensuring the comfort and safety of travelers and guaranteeing the reliability and regularity of trains.
On the side of the RER A, B, C, D, and E, tram lines T1 and T2, as well as the Transilien H, K, and P,> Work is also being carried out all summer, leading to some disruptions. By the time school starts, most of the traffic should be back to normal.
