TRIVIA

This station served as the orange line's terminus for a year and a half, from its inauguration until the line's extension to Du Collège. The walls were originally supposed to be painted red and orange, but red and blue were chosen to give greater contrast. Scenes from Micheline Lanctôt's film Sonatine were filmed in this station.
