Hi Ben. You probably don't remember but you made a reply to a question I made back on June 8 regarding getting to Val d'Europe station from Roland Garros late at night on Aug 2 (going into Aug 3 by midnight). You had suggested I go to Michel-Ange Molitor station but according to the Transport Ministry interactive map, that station is closed during those hours (that whole day actually) so I've decided to depart from Porte d'Auteuil station. The station is located on the metro loop and according to Ratp.fr website they have departures for Gare d'Austerlitz (destination). I plan to get on Metro 10 line for the 11:53 PM departure.
The final two stations, Boulogne Jean Jaures and Boulogne Pont de Saint Cloud east of the loop are closed as well as Michel-Ange Molitor. My question is: Would the metro go on the loop and skip these stations which would then make Chardon Lagache the next station stop from Porte d'Auteuil? Is this correct? Anyway, I plan to change to line 4 @ Odeon and then get on the final RER A train to stop @ Val d'Europe which departs from from Chatelet Les Halles @ 12:37 AM.
Thanks.

Hi again,
Ah, good catch. So it looks like they'll make Porte d'Auteuil (effectively) the origin station for Metro 10 on Aug 2nd & 3rd (after 4pm until end of service) and the next station would be Chardon Lagache as you mention (as that loop only goes in a counterclockwise direction), skipping Michel Ange Molitor then next serving Mirabeau station as the train continues east.
Your plan of Metro 10 to Metro 4 to RER A (Chatelet les Halles at 00:37) looks like a good option to get to Val d'Europe.
Have a great match!
