Template:Short description Template:Infobox station
Charlevoix station ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}) is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Le Sud-Ouest in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.<ref>Charlevoix Station</ref> It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Green Line. It is located in the district of Pointe-Saint-Charles. It opened on September 3, 1978, as part of the extension of the Green Line westward to Angrignon station.
Architecture and art
Designed by Ayotte et Bergeron, it was built as a stacked platform station, in order to reduce the width of the station owing to the weak Utica Shale in which it was built. The lower (Honoré-Beaugrand) platform is Template:Convert below the surface, making this the deepest station in the network, as well as the lowest in altitude (the lower platform is below sea level).
The station has one ticket hall and one access. The long stairways to the platforms, built around a light shaft, are brightened by two stained-glass windows by Mario Merola and Pierre Osterrath.
Origin of the name
This station is named for rue Charlevoix. Pierre François Xavier de Charlevoix (1682–1761) was a French Jesuit historian and explorer of New France.
Connecting bus routes
The buses at Charlevoix use its bus loop which is under an OMHM apartment building.
