Not to miss
Champs-Élysées – Clemenceau for the Grand Palais and Petit Palais, Varenne for the Rodin museum, Invalides for the dome and Napoleon's tomb, Basilique de Saint-Denis for the tombs of the kings of France. For the Stade de France, get off at Saint-Denis – Porte de Paris.
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 Saint-Denis – Université and La Fourche from 31 July to 17 August 2026 according to Time Out (Sortir à Paris also mentions an 18-day closure between Saint-Denis – Université and Porte de Saint-Ouen): those works are over.
Tips
It is Paris's most overcrowded line at peak times: avoid it between 8:00 and 9:30 and 17:00 and 19:00 if you have luggage. Check the branch (Saint-Denis or Les Courtilles) before boarding north of La Fourche.
