Barbara is a station of the Paris Métro on Line 4 in Montrouge and Bagneux. The station was built as be part of a two-station southward extension from Mairie de Montrouge to Bagneux–Lucie Aubrac.[1] It opened on 13 January 2022.[2][3] The extension is expected to bring 37,000 new passengers per day.[4][5] 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 Barbara is located (14.3%).[5]

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.[4] Above the station entrance at Avenue Marx Dormoy, RATP Habitat will build an apartment building for young workers.[6]

During the planning stages of the extension, the station was tentatively called Verdun-Sud. Following a public vote, the station was named after French singer Barbara, who was buried in the nearby Cimetière parisien de Bagneux.[7]
