Overview
- Paris-region road traffic is constrained under Plan Neige level 3 with speeds capped at 70 km/h, heavy-goods vehicles barred in affected zones, and more than 600 km of jams recorded late morning as the RN118 sees partial closures.
- All RATP and Île‑de‑France bus services were halted around 7 a.m. with a pause expected at least until midday, while RER C faces partial suspensions and several tram lines report disruptions despite metro service operating.
- Air travel is curtailed with roughly 40% of movements canceled at Charles‑de‑Gaulle between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. and 25% at Orly between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m., as about 100 flights were cut at CDG and around 40 at Orly; Nantes is shut until noon and Paris‑Le Bourget until 2 p.m.
- Rail operations remain slowed by speed restrictions on high‑speed lines, targeted suspensions for possible freezing rain on Tours–Saumur and Tours–Poitiers–La Rochelle during the morning, an interruption on Chartres–Paris until 11 a.m., and delays reported at Lille‑Flandres.
- Officials report at least five weather‑related road deaths since Monday, and urge residents in the orange‑alert areas—especially Île‑de‑France, the West and Centre‑Val de Loire—to avoid travel and favor telework as the new episode unfolds.
