Quartier de la Chaussée-d'Antin, Administrative quarter in 9th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Chaussée-d'Antin district spans 54.3 hectares between Boulevard des Capucines and Boulevard Haussmann, featuring grand Haussmannian buildings and commercial establishments.

Originally marshy lands, the area transformed during the Second Empire when Napoleon III commissioned extensive urban development, leading to its current architectural layout.

The Palais Garnier opera house, designed by Charles Garnier in 1875, stands as the central monument of the quarter, hosting classical performances and ballets.

The district contains multiple metro stations, including Chaussée d'Antin-La Fayette and Havre-Caumartin, connecting visitors to various parts of Paris.

The Grand Synagogue of Paris, built in 1874, displays neo-Byzantine architecture and represents the growing Jewish community during the Second Empire period.
