Line 1 of the Paris metro: List of stations, line map

Plan a journey

The metro line 1 crosses Paris from east to west, with La Défense to the west and Château de Vincennes to the east as its terminus. This line was the first to be built in Paris and was inaugurated for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. In total, the journey from terminus to terminus represents 16.5 km for a travel time of approximately 35 minutes. Almost all of the line is underground. In Paris, only the "Bastille" station is open to the sky. In Neuilly, the line becomes aerial for a few moments when crossing the Seine.

Since February 2013, line 1 has been fully automated, i.e. there is no longer a driver's station in the line 1 trains. In addition, all the stations on line 1 are equipped with screen doors at platform level, which reinforces the safety of line users, and has made it possible to increase train speeds.

Line 1 is the busiest metro line in Paris, with more than 180 million passengers per year. During the day, the time interval between each train is two to four minutes on weekdays, and three to five minutes on Sundays. After 8 p.m., expect a five to eight minute wait.
