News monitoringMétro line 7 — La Courneuve–8 Mai 1945 ↔ Villejuif–Louis Aragon / Mairie d'Ivry
Line 7 splits into two southern branches after Maison Blanche, so during a reduced strike service one branch is often served far less frequently than the other — check the destination on the platform indicator before boarding.
What a strike means on this line
Line 7 is driver-operated, so an RATP strike directly reduces its service. Expect a peak-hours-only timetable, longer waits and packed trains, or a partial closure of the outer sections.
