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 6 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 taken from Paris je t'aime, to confirm on ratp.fr) and allows changes between metro lines; paper tickets have no longer been sold since November 2025, so load the ticket on a Navigo Easy card or in the app. For several days compare Navigo Easy and Paris Visite.
Works and disruptions in 2026
No interruption of this line was confirmed in the sources consulted for November 2026. Weekend and summer closures are announced in advance at ratp.fr/travaux: check the day before you travel.
Tips
Avoid 8:00-9:30 and 17:00-19:00, when trains are full. Keep your belongings in front of you at Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est, Bastille: very busy stations, pickpocket areas.
