Due to the presence of numerous heads of state and government, the Prefect of Police of Paris, Laurent Nuñez, has announced the implementation of security measures around the cathedral throughout the weekend."Inspired by the Olympic Games ceremony", this security arrangement will entail the closure of several metro and RER stations on these December 7 and 8, 2024. This was stated by Laurent Nuñez in the columns of Le Parisien on December 1.
So, which stations should you avoid this weekend in Paris? As announced by the Préfet de police de Paris in the daily newspaper, RATP has announced that three metro stations in the vicinity of Notre-Dame de Paris will be closed on Saturday and Sunday. The stations in question are Saint-Michel (line 4, RER B and RER C), Cité (line 4) and Pont-Neuf (line 7).
In detail, Saint-Michel and Cité stations on metro line 4 will be inaccessible all day Saturday, and until 8pm on Sunday. For these two stations, please note that trains will run on metro line 4 and RER line B, but will not stop. Pont-Neuf station (line 7) will be closed on Saturday from 5pm to 11pm, and on Sunday from 9am to 2.30pm.
Line C of the RER will also be affected by these disruptions. Traffic will be interrupted between Paris Austerlitz and Invalides stations from 4pm on Saturday. On Sunday, however, there will be no interrupted traffic on RER line C, apart from the closed Saint-Michel station.
As a result of the security perimeter, buses usually crossing the Ile de la Cité will be diverted, but the lines will continue to operate (lines 21, 27, 38, 47, 58, 63, 67, 70, 75, 86, 87, 89, 96 and N12, N13, N14, N15, N21, N22). RATP will therefore implement route detour .
