Fabre station (French pronunciation: [fabʁ]) is a Montreal Metro station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.^[4] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and served by the Blue Line. It is located in the Villeray neighbourhood.

Overview

It is a normal side platform station with two entrances: one on rue Fabre and another on avenue Papineau. The brightly coloured murals and continuous handrail were designed by artist Jean-Noël Poliquin.

Origin of name

Fabre is named for the nearby rue Fabre. The street name honours Monseigneur Édouard-Charles Fabre (1827–1896), Montreal's first archbishop (1886).

Restoration of Jean-Noël Poliquin’s artwork

Restoration work for the artwork is underway at Fabre, to keep its architectural integrity at the station, with the walls becoming completely white during restoration, once the work is completed, the walls will go back to normal.
