ThePassage du Havre is one of thecovered passages of Paris. Formerly known forfish shops andrailway modelling (e.g.Hornby, La Maison du Train), the arcade was rebuilt in the late 1990s as a modern mall, at the same time as the construction of Paris'RER E underground railway line. The redevelopment aimed to attract shops more in line with the character of theQuartier de l'Opéra-Saint Lazare, the heart of Paris major business district.
The passage is located near theGare Saint-Lazare and directly opposite the Hilton Paris Opera (the station's hotel). It begins at the Place du Havre and extends toRue de Caumartin where it ends.
