Bagneux–Lucie Aubrac is a station and the southern terminus of the Paris Métro on Line 4 in Bagneux. The station was built as part of a two-station southward extension from Mairie de Montrouge, the previous terminus of the line.[1] The adjacent station is Barbara. The station was opened on 13 January 2022 by Prime Minister Jean Castex.[2][3][4] The extension is expected to bring 37,000 new passengers per day.[5][4] The cost of the extension was 406 million euro, split between Ile-de-France Region (60%), the state (25.7%), and the department of Hauts-de-Seine, in which Bagneux is located (14.3%).[4]
The station was designed by LIN (Finn Geipel and Giulia Andi).[6] It is fitted with platform edge doors, as part of the automation of Line 4, planned to be completed by 2022.[5] The station features two artworks of Lucie Aubrac by artist C215.[6]
During the planning stages of the extension, the station was tentatively called Bagneux. Following a public vote, the station was named after Lucie Aubrac, a member of the French Resistance during World War II.[7]
In 2025, the station will connect to the new Paris Métro Line 15, part of Grand Paris Express.[8] There also plans to build an eco-quarter around the station with over 2,000 new residents, following the completion of the Line 15 station.[4]
