Line 1 was the first Métro line to open. Its first section opened in 1900. It was driven by drivers in the past but it is now driven automatically. To do this, they worked from 2007 to 2011. They bought new trains (MP 05) and doors next to the platform. The first eight new trains entered service on 3 November 2011,^[1][2] which meant the old MP 89 CC stock could go onto Line 4. This all meant Line 1 became the system's second fully automated line, after Line 14.

Line 1 is currently being extended to Val de Fontenay. Here, it will link with Paris Metro Line 15, RER A, RER E and Tram 1, which is also being extended.
