The station is named after the Avenue Louis Aragon and Louis Aragon (1897–1982) a French writer. The station is also the northern terminus of tram line T7, which opened on 16 November 2013.

Early plans to extend line 14 from Olympiades to the Orly Airport included the possibility of taking over the existing line 7 branch from Maison Blanche to this station. However, the inclusion of line 14 in the Grand Paris Express project means that the line 14 extension to Orly will only consist of new infrastructure, but line 15 (another Grand Paris Express line) will serve this station from around 2024.[1]
