Acadie station is a Montreal Metro in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[3] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Blue Line. It is located in the Parc-Extension district.
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 was named for the Boulevard de l'Acadie, in turn named to remember Acadia, the site of the first permanent French settlement in North America.
