Artwork description
The architect decorated the mezzanine of the station with a mural of coloured glazed bricks, reproducing the words Bonheur d’occasion. The reference is to Gabrielle Roy’s novel of the same title (The Tin Flute in English), describing working-class life in Saint-Henri in the 1940s.
