It will be very difficult for passengers at the red station to get on the train, and the 15 minutes indicated by the Ministry of Transportation is the time for passengers to approach the platform after entering the station, not the time to wait on the platform.

Stations closed include the Metro Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau, Concorde, Tuileries, Colette-Besson, Porte-d'Issy and Porte-de-Versailles.
Some stations are also closed on certain days and at certain times of the day due to the nearby races, mainly Boulogne-Jean Jaurès, Boulogne-Pont de Saint-Cloud and Michelangelo-Molito.

The Gare du Nord was the most affected station during the Olympic Games, with more than 15 minutes to get from the station entrance to the platform for at least an hour a day. Other stations that have been heavily affected by the Olympics include Gare de ch Telet-les Halles, La Fourche, La Motte-Piquet-Grenelle and Porte de Saint-Ouen.

In this way, July 30 will be the busiest day, followed by August 8 and July 29.

Employee leave plans in Paris are affected
According to Le Parisien, due to the Olympic Games, some companies in the Greater Paris region may require employees to take leave dates that coincide with those of the Olympic Games. In addition, complementary measures or alternatives to 100% telecommuting will also surge in recent months. Daniel Weizmann, president of MEDEF, the employers' organization of Greater Paris, points out: "These requests are usually made by employees. ”
Weizmann admits that companies located in the red zone of traffic are particularly concerned about the impact of the Olympics. Some companies plan to close during the two-week Olympics from July 26 to August 11 while forcing employees to take time off. This means that people who are used to taking time off at other times have to make adjustments.
The Small and Medium Enterprises Association (CPME) states: "We are not imposing, but raising awareness of the common good among our employees. During the Olympics, there are certain fields and certain occupations that do not bring any added value if they stay, so we choose to take time off. ”
Employers have the right to impose restrictions on the days of leave for employees, subject to the Labor Code: first of all, it must be communicated to the employee at least two months before the holiday; Second, if an employer decides to modify an employee's leave date, it must give at least one month's notice before the original plan begins.
Considering the inconveniences during the Games, some companies in the Greater Paris Region may require employees to take time off during the Games. (*AFP photo).
