Acadie station is a Montreal Metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension (on the border with the town of Mount Royal, Quebec).[3] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Blue Line. It is located in the Parc-Extension.

Overview[]

It is a normal side platform station. Two entrances on either side of boul. de l'Acadie lead to a common ticket hall. The station platform is decorated in bold colours such as blue, hot pink, black, and slate grey. The ticket hall is host to a tall clock and bench ensemble entitled Lieu de rendez-vous by Météore Design and the seating is by sculptor Michel Morelli. A series of whimsical photographic works by Jean Mercier showing people turning cartwheels and mid-air somersaults adorns the walls of the stairwell and passages to the exits.

Origin of name[]

Acadie station was named for the Boulevard de l'Acadie (English: Acadie Boulevard), in turn named to remember Acadia, the site of the first permanent french settlement in North America.
