Is it La Fontaine or Lafontaine? I’ve always been confused by this. A quick web search shows Tourism Montreal, Google Maps, and Wikipedia all say La Fontaine, but it’s named after Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine?

Either one. I tend to streamline La Fontaine to Lafontaine (and LaSalle to Lasalle). I also usually type St-Michel (etc) instead of Saint-Michel. Removing visual roadbumps but it may not conform to some official usages.

Semi-related question: does the fountain in the pond have a name? If it’s named for Lafontaine, I’m calling the park Parc de la fontaine Lafontaine from now on.
