History
Villejuif–Gustave Roussy station was designed by Dominique Perrault.[1] The extension of metro Line 14 opened on 24 June 2024.[2] For the first few months of operation, Villejuif–Gustave Roussy served only as an emergency exit, where trains passed through without serving this station. On 18 January 2025, Line 14's platforms opened for service; Line 15's platforms are expected to be put into service at this station, along with the rest of the line's southern section, in autumn 2027.[3]
In November 2025, two French stations, Villejuif–Gustave Roussy and Saint-Denis–Pleyel,[1] were included on the "World's Most Beautiful Stations List 2025" as part of the global design and architecture competition Prix Versailles. Seven stations in total, located in Australia, Belgium, China, France and Saudi Arabia, were nominated for their "remarkable architectural ambition" and announced at UNESCO Headquarters.[4] In December 2025, the Villejuif–Gustave Roussy station won the Prix Versailles, with Emma Watson serving on the jury for that edition.[5]
