Vavin (French pronunciation: [vavɛ̃]) is a station of the Paris Métro on line 4 on the border of the 6th arrondissement and 14th arrondissement, under Place Pablo-Picasso at the intersection of Boulevard du Montparnasse and Boulevard Raspail. It is named after the nearby rue Vavin, named after 19th-century statesman Alexis Vavin (1792-1863).
It has the peculiarity of having two connections to other lines on the track towards Bagneux–Lucie Aubrac; one from line 12 just before entering the station and one towards line 6 just after leaving the station.
