A little history
 Chronologically the first of the Parisian stations, it was built initially (1837) a little more in north, close to current Place of Europe, for the line Paris - Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Rebuilt by Alfred Armand between 1841-1843, it was increased later by Eugene Flachat (1851-1853), in particular by the addition of five covered halls of the metal structure, broadest having a range of 40 meters. The trains on the basis of here will take you along towards Normandy and, towards the United Kingdom, via Dieppe.
Structure
The current building (Right Lisch, 1885-1889) surrounds the older structures and presents a frontage of the XVIIème century in Art schools style. A hotel - the Terminus - is the first important example of direct association between these two functions, having been built for the travellers attracted by the World Fair of 1889. Since 1985, two columns dües in Arman decorate Court of Le Havre - the Hour of all (a stacking of watches) and the other, Court of Rome - Instruction with life (a stacking of bags).
