Already it is not not always easy to navigate the corridors of the metro normally, these December 7 and 8 could well turn into black daysand this for several reasons. On the one hand, the reopening of Notre-Dame imposes a security perimeter, and therefore blocked access to all stations included inside. On the other, the endless network work lead to the closure of several stations. In total, these are 4 metro lines and 2 RER lines which will therefore be subject to restrictions throughout the weekend.
When Notre-Dame touches our metro
It's a historical event that awaits us this weekend: the official reopening of the doors of Notre-Damein the presence of a fifty heads of state from all over the world, French and international artistsmass tourists, Parisians, in short, all the elite, gathered for this moment like no other. And obviously, who says celebration of this magnitude says important security perimeter (hello Olympics)leading to numerous restrictions de circulation, particularly on the public transport network.
Indeed, if no buses will be allowed to operate in the secure zone for the duration of the weekend, 3 metro stations will also be closed for 48 hours, or almost. Of Saturday 7 at the opening of the service until Sunday 8 at 8 p.m., none train will not serve stations Cité et Saint-Michel (Notre-Dame), whether on the line 4, RER B or RER C. The station Pont-Neuf, on the 7will for its part be closed on SATURDAY of 17h to 23hthen the Sunday of 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.. Trains will therefore continue to run normally, but will not stop at these different stations.
A complex Sunday on the 6 and 12
Far from Notre-Dametwo other lines will also be impacted by restrictions this Sunday December 8. Traffic will be interrupted all day on line 6 between Charles de Gaulle-Star et Trocadero. Replacement buses will be put in place, and will run in both directions between 5:15 a.m. and 1:15 a.m.. The reason behind this closure? There infrastructure modernization with a view to the deployment of new MP89 trainsets of which we have already revealed all the secrets to you. Well, even if in principle, it's a bit annoyingit remains a Sundayand it is especially likely to impact tourists who wish to go to the Arc de Triomphe.
The 12 will also be there this Sundaybut fortunately, this time, no interruption of traffic all day, simply from 10 p.m. to the end of the service. And like Sunday evenings in winter, anyway, it's broth in front of the TV with a good blanket, ultimately it has very little impact on us to know that the line must also undergo renovation work while we are already having sweet dreams. And since good news never comes alone, this will also be the case the following Sunday, December 15at the same times and for the same reasons.
But with all that, for this weekend, the outcome is simplewe stay at home, under the duvet, we choose a good bookwe have a good time Roasted Mont d’orand we watch the premium of the Star Ac’.
