Explore Paris with Ease Thanks to Metro Line 14’s New Extension

In an exciting update for commuters in Paris and travelers, the Metro Line 14 extension has officially opened, linking key spots across the city. French President Emmanuel Macron inaugurated the extended metro line, which now stretches from Saint-Denis Pleyel in the north to Orly Airport in the south.

After eight years of meticulous work, the €3.5 billion extension of Metro Line 14 is now fully operational. Covering 28 kilometers, it boasts eight strategically placed stations, all fully automated.

The new extended Metro line now connects Saint-Denis Pleyel in the north, serving the athletes’ village, Stade de France, and the aquatic center. In the south, it reaches Aéroport d’Orly, providing a swift link to the bustling airport. Line 14, connecting Orly Airport to the city center in just 25 minutes, relieves pressure on the existing transport system.

Previously, Orly relied on a single bus line, a tramway, and an automatic metro line that bypassed Paris. Now, travelers can reach the airport seamlessly from the Olympiades station in just 16 minutes. Bonjour Paris recently reported that for those on a budget, the €11.50 ticket price is even more attractive if you already have a Navigo travel pass.
