Located in the heart of the square Léon Meyer, former mayor of Le Havre, the square Claude Érignac is one of the oldest squares of the city. At its northern end is the Sous-Préfecture, a Louis XIII style building, made of brick and cut stone, built in 1859. Opposite, stands the Pasino, property of the Partouche group, a casino since 2006, formerly the Palais de la Bourse, which was destroyed during the bombings in 1944.
