Bagneux–Lucie Aubrac (French pronunciation: [baɲø lysi obʁak]) is a Paris Métro station in Bagneux, Hauts-de-Seine. It is the southern terminus of Line 4, and 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 opened in January 2022. In future, the station will be served by Paris Métro Line 15.

History

The extension of Line 4 south from Mairie de Montrouge received déclaration d'utilité publique in February 2005. Work to build the extension began in 2015, and was planned to open in 2020. 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.

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%).

South of the station, the Line 4 tunnels continue along Avenue Henri Barbusse for 800 metres allowing for train storage and maintenance.

Grand Paris Express

In 2011, it was announced that the station will connect to the new Paris Métro Line 15, part of Grand Paris Express. This is planned to open in 2025. There are also plans to build an eco-quarter around the station with over 2,000 new residents, following the completion of the Line 15 station.

Passenger services

Access

The station has five entrance/exits:

  • Three accesses – Rue de Verdun, Avenue Henri Barbusse and Place Lucie Aubrac – are located in a large station building north of Avenue Henri Barbusse, adjacent to the construction site for the Line 15 station.
  • Access 4 "Avenue de Stalingrad" is located to the north of the main entrance building and Place Lucie Aubrac, in a small standalone building.
  • Access 5 "Rue Claude Debussy" is a exit from the terminating Line 4 platform, integrated into a residential building.

Other services

The station connects with lines 162, 188 and 388 of the RATP Bus Network.

Architecture and artwork

Main station entrance

Line 4

The station was designed by LIN (Finn Geipel and Giulia Andi). The design uses white corrugated metal panels on the walls, as well as large circular light fittings – a similar concept was also used at Aimé Césaire and Mairie d'Aubervilliers stations on line 12. The platforms are fitted with platform edge doors, installed as part of the automation of Line 4.

Inside the station, two portraits of Lucie Aubrac were created by the artist C215. On a gable of a building outside the station, artist Andréa Michaelsson (also known as Btoy) has painted a large portrait of Lucie Aubrac. On the nearby maintenance building, a metal bas-relief by Argentinian artist Ricardo Mosner shows the history of underground mines, quarries and the Metro in the local area.

Line 15

The station has been designed by French architect Marc Barani. An artwork by Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé will take inspiration from caves, fossils and troglodytes.
