Place-Saint-Henri (subway of Montreal)

Place-Saint-Henri is a station on the orange Ligne of the subway of Montreal.

The station was inaugurated the April 28th 1980. At the time it was the western terminus of the first prolongation of the orange Line. (Before, the terminus was the station Bonaventure. Place-Saint-Henri kept this role until in 1981 and the finishing of the prolongation of this line until Snowdon.)

The station was conceived by Julien Hébert and Jean-Louis Lalonde. At the beginning it included/understood two works of art: in the mezzanine mural of Hébert is entitled Bonheur of occasion , title of the Romance of Gabrielle Roy whose action proceeds in the district; and a mobile of Jacques de Tonnancour, suspended in the mezzanine and overhanging the platforms.

A statue of Jacques Cartier by Joseph-Arthur Vincent, was recently localized in the station.
