Description


LIONEL-GROULX STATION Abbé Lionel Groulx (1878-1967), a native of Vaudreuil, was an influential Québécois historian. He studied in theology at the Grand Séminaire de Montréal and was ordained in 1903. He taught at Valleyfield seminary from 1903 to 1915 and was named honorary canon in 1943. Abbé Groulx was also the founding president of the Franco-American History Institute in 1946 and director of the Revue d'histoire de l'Amérique française (1947-1967). This station's name was changed during the planning phase to commemorate Abbé Groulx, after his death, and rue Lionel-Groulx was renamed after the station. The station was inaugurated on September 3, 1978 as part of the extension of the Green Line to Angrignon, with service on the Green Line only, though the Orange Line platforms were built at the same time. They did not enter service until the extension to Place-Saint-Henri was opened on April 28, 1980. It was therefore the first transfer station to be opened after Berri-UQAM, in the original network. In 2009 it became the first existing station to be retrofitted to be fully wheelchair-accessible through the addition of elevators. Berri-UQAM station had elevators added at the same time, but only between the mezzanine and orange line platforms. (The three stations in Laval, opened in 2007, already had elevators.) Three elevators connect the entrance to the mezzanine, the mezzanine to the upper platform, and the upper platform to the lower platform, respectively. WIDE PICTURE OF THE STATION THANKS MAGIK

STATION LIONEL-GROULX Lionel Groulx (1878-1967), originaire de Vaudreuil, fit ses études de théologie au Grand Séminaire de Montréal et il fut ordonné prêtre le 28 janvier 1903. Professeur de lettres et de rhétorique au séminaire de Valleyfield (1903-1906), il poursuivit ses études en Europe, à Rome et à Fribourg. Il reprit l’enseignement des lettres et de la rhétorique à Valleyfield (1909-1915), puis il fut nommé professeur titulaire de la chaire d’histoire du Canada (1915-1950). Chanoine honoraire en 1943, Lionel Groulx fut aussi président-fondateur de l’Institut d’histoire de l’Amérique française (1946) et directeur de la Revue d’histoire de l’Amérique française (1947-1967). Ses nombreux écrits, romans et ouvrages historiques lui valurent plusieurs prix et marquèrent profondément la vie intellectuelle et sociale de son époque. Lionel-Groulx est une station de correspondance du Métro de Montréal, permettant des correspondances entre les lignes verte et orange. Située dans le quartier Saint-Henri, elle est nommée en l'honneur du chanoine Groulx, qui était un historien influent du Canada francophone.

Eclairage doux et propreté...une différence avec la station Saint Michel à PARIS qui fait correspondre 4 lignes de métro et j ligne de RER (métro/train régional) ! Ton lien montre une vue magnifique de cette station. En France à Paris les lignes ont un numéro pas une couleur...on ne s'en sortirait pas...plus de trente lignes de Metro à PARIS...quelques 50 lignes de bus /trams à NANTES !
