Question 1

Is there a strike in Paris today?

Accepted Answer

Check the big banner at the top of this page — it pulls live data from the Île-de-France Mobilités (PRIM) official API and the national strike calendar every 30 minutes. Green ✅ means no major strike right now; red ❌ means at least one monitored service is disrupted.

Question 2

Is the Paris Métro on strike today?

Accepted Answer

Look at the Services Status grid. Each line of the Métro, RER, bus and tram network rolls up into the 'Métro' card. If RATP reports a network-wide or multi-line action affecting Paris, it will show as ❌ Affected with details on which lines are impacted.

Question 3

Is there an SNCF or TGV strike today?

Accepted Answer

The 'Trains (SNCF)' card reflects national rail strikes that impact Paris (Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon, Gare Montparnasse, Saint-Lazare, Austerlitz, Est, Bercy). National strikes by SNCF unions are picked up from the official strike calendar.

Question 4

Are CDG and Orly airports affected by a strike?

Accepted Answer

The 'Air Traffic' card covers air traffic controller (DGAC) strikes and ground-staff actions affecting Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris-Orly (ORY). Airline-specific actions are noted in the details when they impact Paris airports.

Question 5

How accurate is this Paris strike tracker?

Accepted Answer

We combine two trusted sources: the PRIM / Île-de-France Mobilités official API for live transit disruptions, and cestlagreve.fr for the national strike calendar. An AI layer summarises the data — but it only reports what the sources say. No source = no strike claim.

Question 6

How often is the strike status updated?

Accepted Answer

The page automatically re-checks every 30 minutes. You can also see the exact 'last checked' time at the top, and refresh manually anytime.

Question 7

Which Métro lines keep running during a strike?

Accepted Answer

Lines 1 and 14 are fully automated and driverless, so they usually run normally even during a major RATP strike. Vélib' bikes, scooters, taxis and VTCs (Uber, Bolt, G7) are unaffected too.

Question 8
