Chronologically
the first Parisian railway station,
it was
first built (1837) a little further to the North, next to the Place d'Europe.
Its main line was its link from Paris to Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
Rebuilt by Alfred Armand between 1841-1843, it was later extended by
Eugène Flachat (1851-1853), notably through the addition of five
metal structure covered halls, the largest having a span of 40 meters.
Trains leaving here will take one to Normandy and to Great Britain, via Dieppe.
The present building (Juste Lisch, 1885-1889) surrounds the
older structures and presents a XVIIth century Beaux-Arts style façade.
A hotel -Terminus - is the first important example of an association between
these two functions and, it was built to accommodate travellers coming to the
Universal Exhibition of 1889.

The station was immortalized by Claude Monet in 1877 with his painting
of the same name.
In 1985, two works by Arman were added to
La Cour du Havre and La Cour de Rome :
L'Heure de tous (Everybody's Time) and
Consigne à vie (Checked Luggage for a Lifetime) respectively.
