News monitoringMétro line 14 — Saint-Denis–Pleyel ↔ Aéroport d'Orly
Line 14 is fully automated and, since its 2024 extension, runs all the way to Orly airport. It is the single most strike-proof way to reach a Paris airport by public transport, and it is the line to fall back on when 13, 4 or the RER are down.
What a strike means on this line
Because line 14 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
- Saint-Denis–Pleyel
- Saint-Lazare
- Pyramides
- Châtelet
- Gare de Lyon
- Bercy
- Bibliothèque François Mitterrand
- Maison Blanche
- Aéroport d'Orly
Alternatives during a strike
- Line 1 — Also driverless; connect at Châtelet or Gare de Lyon to cross east–west.
- Orlyval + RER B — The other Orly link, but far more strike-sensitive than line 14.
- Line 4 — Driverless north–south; connect at Châtelet.
