CANADA: Streetart Montréal – Lachine – 1070 Rue Notre Dame – ART DU COMMUN

Lachine Railroad

Tchou, tchou! It was November 19th 1847, the first trip on the Lachine Railroad. 12 kilometers between Montreal downtown and Lachine 21st Avenue. This great mural with a historical flavor is part of a series that chronicles the life of the neighborhood and the merchants of Rue Notre Dame in Lachine. This street is still one of the major commercial axes of the Lachine borough located west of downtown Montreal. The murals were all made by an artist duo called ART DU COMMUN and this collective consists of Montreal artists JASMIN GUÉRARD ALIE and SIMON BACHAND who regularly team up for colorful urban creations. The project aims to embellish and energize Rue Notre Dame. It also recalls the village past of this area long away from the city.  –  Patrice Loranger
