Vaugirard (French pronunciation: [voʒiʁaʁ]) is a station on line 12 of the Paris Métro in the 15th arrondissement.
It is named after the nearby rue de Vaugirard, which in turn was named after the former Place de Vaugirard, renamed to Place Adolphe Chérioux in 1935. The station's name is subtitled Adolphe Chérioux (1857-1934), a former mayor of the district. This street also lent its name to Vaugirard on line 4, which was renamed Saint-Placide on 15 November 1913 to prevent confusion.
The station is unusual in that it contains two shops (a newsagent and clothes store) even though it is not an interchange station.
