The stations in order and what you see there

Connections: numbers are metro lines, T = tram, RER = RER lines, TGV/TER/Transilien = trains.

Not to miss

Abbesses (36 metres underground, Paris's deepest station, with an Art Nouveau entrance) or Lamarck – Caulaincourt take you to Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur; Pigalle and the Moulin Rouge are one stop away. Assemblée nationale and Solférino serve the Orsay museum.

Hours and tickets

First train around 5:30 on all lines; last train at the terminus around 1:15 from Sunday to Thursday and around 2:15 on Fridays, Saturdays and the eve of public holidays (2026 times taken from Paris je t'aime, an unofficial source: confirm on the line page at ratp.fr). Expect a train every 2 to 5 minutes during the day. After the last metro, the Noctilien night bus takes over. A single Métro-Train-RER ticket costs 2.55 EUR (fare from our general metro guide, to confirm on ratp.fr) and allows changes between metro lines; for several days compare Navigo Easy and Paris Visite.

Works and disruptions in 2026

This summer the line was closed between Jules Joffrin and Concorde from 16 to 26 July 2026, then closed early (at 22:00) on some August evenings (works announced by RATP): those works are over.

Tips

At Abbesses, the lift saves you a long spiral staircase of around 100 steps: use it if you have luggage. Pigalle is lively in the evening but has touts: decline invitations into bars.
