Villejuif - Louis Aragon Metro Station

Villejuif–Louis Aragon (French pronunciation: ​[vilʒɥif lwi aʁaɡɔ̃]) is a station of the Paris Métro, located in the commune of Villejuif. The station opened on 28 February 1985 when Line 7 was extended from Le Kremlin-Bicêtre and serves the commune of Villejuif as the southwestern terminus of one of Paris Métro Line 7's branches (the terminus on the other branch is Mairie d'Ivry).

The station is named after the Avenue Louis Aragon and Louis Aragon (1897–1982), a French writer.

Early plans to extend line 14 from Olympiades to the Orly Airport included the possibility of taking over the existing line 7 branch from Maison Blanche to this station. However, the inclusion of line 14 in the Grand Paris Express project means that the line 14 extension to Orly will only consist of new infrastructure and the plan has been shelved. Line 15 (another Grand Paris Express line) will serve this station from late 2025 onwards (as of August 2021), one year later than originally intended in 2024, with construction having started in 2017.

In 2020, the station was used by 4,029,467 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 28th busiest of the Métro network, out of 305 stations.
