Bagneux–Lucie Aubrac station (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.^[1] The adjacent station is Barbara. The station opened in January 2022.^[2] 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.^[3] 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.^[4]

The station was opened on 13 January 2022 by Prime Minister Jean Castex.^[2]^[5]^[6] The extension is expected to bring 37,000 new passengers per day.^[7]^[6] 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%).^[6]

South of the station, the Line 4 tunnels continue along Avenue Henri Barbusse for 800 metres allowing for train storage and maintenance.^[8]

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.^[9] This is planned to open in 2025.^[10] 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.^[6]

Architecture and artwork

Line 4

The station was designed by LIN (Finn Geipel and Giulia Andi).^[13] 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.^[14] The platforms are fitted with platform edge doors, installed as part of the automation of Line 4.^[7]

Inside the station, two portraits of Lucie Aubrac were created by the artist C215.^[15] On a gable of a building outside the station, artist Andréa Michaelsson (also known as Btoy) has painted a large portrait of Lucie Aubrac.^[16] 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.^[17]

Line 15

The station has been designed by French architect Marc Barani.^[18] An artwork by Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé will take inspiration from caves, fossils and troglodytes.^[19]
