Transport news site *Sortiraparis* has released its real-time traffic bulletin for Sunday, 11 October, showing an unusually dense mix of planned works and event-driven closures across the RATP network. Three Metro lines are shut west of the Seine for the annual 20 km de Paris road race, while RER C services between Orly and Massy-Palaiseau remain suspended all weekend for track upgrades. Corporate travellers landing at Orly and heading to La Défense for Monday meetings should factor in extra transfers: the fastest alternative is Metro 14 from Orly-Aéroport to Châtelet, then RER A. Taxi demand around Porte d’Auteuil is expected to spike between 06:00 and 14:00, coinciding with athlete arrivals. The bulletin also lists nine-month closure of République station on Metro Line 8 starting next week—significant for expatriates living in eastern arrondissements who commute to the CBD. Employers offering Navigo subsidies may see higher reimbursement claims as workers reroute via longer journeys. For visitors, the phasing out of paper tickets continues to catch out occasional riders; travel teams should remind guests to download the Île-de-France Mobilités app or purchase a Navigo Easy card on arrival. RATP confirms normal service on CDG-linking RER B north of Gare du Nord, so long-haul arrivals at CDG should not be affected, but last-mile transfers inside Paris will be slower than usual.
