Strike CalendarMétro line 1 — La Défense ↔ Château de Vincennes
Line 1 has been fully driverless since 2012, so it is one of the three Métro lines that normally keeps a near-complete service even on a heavy RATP strike day. Station staff can still walk out, which occasionally closes individual entrances rather than the line itself.
What a strike means on this line
Because line 1 is driverless, it usually keeps running during RATP strikes — but station staff walkouts can still close entrances, and connecting lines may not be running.
Main stations served
- La Défense
- Charles de Gaulle–Étoile
- Champs-Élysées–Clemenceau
- Concorde
- Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre
- Châtelet
- Bastille
- Gare de Lyon
- Nation
Alternatives during a strike
- RER A — Runs parallel from La Défense to Nation and is faster, but is far more strike-sensitive than line 1.
- Bus 73 — La Défense to Musée d'Orsay along the Champs-Élysées when the eastern section is disrupted.
- Line 14 — Also driverless — connect at Châtelet or Gare de Lyon to keep moving north–south.
Frequently asked questions
Is Métro line 1 running during a strike?
Yes, in most cases. Line 1 is fully automated, so it runs without drivers and keeps a near-normal service on strike days. Individual stations can still close if station staff join the action.
What is the best alternative to line 1 during a strike?
RER A is the closest substitute: Runs parallel from La Défense to Nation and is faster, but is far more strike-sensitive than line 1. Bus 73 also works — La Défense to Musée d'Orsay along the Champs-Élysées when the eastern section is disrupted.
Which stations does Métro line 1 serve?
Line 1 runs between La Défense and Château de Vincennes, calling at Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, Champs-Élysées–Clemenceau, Concorde, Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre, Châtelet, Bastille, Gare de Lyon among others.
How do I know if line 1 is on strike right now?
The status panel on this page is refreshed every 30 minutes from official Île-de-France Mobilités PRIM data and public strike notices, so it reflects the current state of line 1 rather than a general forecast.
