If you're planning on travelling around Paris or Île-de-France this weekend, be aware of work on the Metro, trains and roads that may affect your travel plans.
Over the holiday weekend of May 8th transport authorities in Paris are planning a series of works that involves limited service on some lines.
Here is a breakdown of Metro, Transilien and RER line and station closures, and roadworks over the weekend, into next week and beyond.
Metro

Line 4 - Modernisation and automation work on Line 4 means a change in services on Sundays for the foreseeable future. The first trains will run from 12noon, and the line will close at 10.15pm.
Line 11 - The platform for Line 11 services at Arts-et-Métiers has been closed since the beginning of May to allow work to continue to adapt the station for new rolling-stock to use the line when the extension to Rosny, Seine-Saint-Denis opens in 2023. It will remain closed until June 14th. Line 3 services in and out of the station are running as normal.
