Did you know?
The southern terminus of line 4 until the extension to Bagneux, the station is the 302nd of the Paris metro. It lies under avenue de la République, between rue Gabriel-Péri and place du Maréchal-Leclerc, right next to the town hall, the Montrouge belfry (cultural and conference centre) and the church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur. The extension of line 4 towards Bagneux had been envisaged since 1929.

The vault is elliptical, which is rare for a station built in recent decades. A work by Hugues Reip occupies the corridors and platforms, which are fully equipped with platform screen doors as part of the automation of line 4.
