History

Laumet was a captain of New France and the commander of the colony of France from 1700 to 1710, then later returned to France and died in 1730

The design of the metro station was done by Longpré, Marchand, Goudreau, Dobush, Stewart & Bourke and the artistic details were done by Jean Cartier. The walls are a dark grey concrete trimmed off with stainless steal metal. The passages above the tracks are designed with Triangular shapes. Near the stairs of the Angrignon platform is 4 distinct cutouts in the concrete, designed to hide the ventilation of the station. There are also 2 murals, at either exit of the station, both designed by Cartier. These murals are designed to be taken down and changed around depending on the season.
