Bagneux - Lucie Aubrac Metro Station

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. The adjacent station is Barbara. The station was opened on 13 January 2022 by Prime Minister Jean Castex. The extension is expected to bring 37,000 new passengers per day. 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%).

The station was designed by LIN (Finn Geipel and Giulia Andi). It is fitted with platform edge doors, as part of the automation of Line 4, planned to be completed by 2022. The station features two artworks of Lucie Aubrac by artist C215.

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.

In 2025, the station will connect to the new Paris Métro Line 15, part of Grand Paris Express. 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.
