Paris Métro Line 14 (French: Ligne 14 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen lines on the Paris Métro. It connects Saint-Denis–Pleyel and Aéroport d'Orly via Gare Saint-Lazare, Châtelet–Les-Halles, and Gare de Lyon. The line goes through the centre of Paris, and also serves Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, Clichy, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, Gentilly, Villejuif, Chevilly-Larue, L'Haÿ-les-Roses, Thiais and Paray-Vieille-Poste.
It is the newest Métro line. It has been operated without drivers since it opened in 1998. When it was being built, it was called Project Météor, which is an acronym for MÉTro Est-Ouest Rapide.
The line was extended north to Mairie de Saint-Ouen in December 2020.[1] The line extended further north to Saint-Denis–Pleyel and south to Aéroport d'Orly, as part of the Grand Paris Express project, on 24 June 2024.[2] This means Line 14 is now the longest, at 27.8 km (17.3 mi).
