Traffic is completely interrupted, for works, until Monday included, on the North axis of line B in both directions of traffic from Gare du Nord to Mitry and between Paris Gare du Nord and Aulnay- sous-Bois towards Roissy-Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. An extremely rare interruption on the second busiest line in Europe. “It’s the most Parisian of experiences,” quips Anoushka, a tourist from Montreal.

Like her, many tourists are hesitant about which direction to take to get to Roissy CDG. “It’s a mess,” smiles Hao, a Taiwanese traveler. “We didn’t see any signs,” regrets Jared, an affable American tourist.

An “exceptional and completely new” system has been put in place with replacement buses and increased frequencies on the closed sections, underlined the Minister of Transport Clément Beaune. More than 600 buses and 1,000 drivers were mobilized on this occasion.

The device has so far made it possible to avoid major incidents during this first morning of interruption.
