ThePassage du Havre is one of thecovered passages of Paris. Formerly geared towardsfish shops andrailway modelling (e.g.Hornby, La Maison du Train), the arcade was rebuilt in the late 1990s as a modern mall at the time as the construction of Paris'RER E underground railway line, to welcome new shops more in keeping with theQuartier de l'Opéra-Saint Lazare, the heart of Paris major business district.
The passage is near theGare Saint-Lazare and opposite the Hilton Paris Opera (the station's hotel). It begins at the Place du Havre and leads onto theRue de Caumartin where it ends.
The shopping centre is owned and maintained by Eurocommercial Properties N.V..[1]
