No more hassles for line 12 users! While Concorde metro station had already reopened at the beginning of September on lines 1 and 8, it had remained closed on the green line since May. Finally, it reopened much earlier than the September 21 date announced.

Since May, Paris metro users have been struggling to make some of their connections. While the vast majority of stations reopened as soon as the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games came to an end on September 8, one stubborn station remained closed: Concorde. The site of the urban events and the Paralympic opening ceremony, the station remained closed for a long time, but reopened at the beginning of September on lines 1 and 8, but not on line 12...

A longer shutdown for these users who have been deprived of connections for almost 5 months, and which was due to last until September 21! The good news is that it finally reopened early on Friday, September 13! This was made possible by the rapid progress of dismantling work on the square, which enabled the line to reopen ahead of schedule. A real relief for this line, which runs from Aubervilliers to Issy-les-Moulineaux, and had lost some of its practicality during the Games.

With the reopening of the Champs-Elysées and Tuileries stations, life in the capital is slowly returning to normal!
