Saint Sever is the dominant mall at the heart of Rouen’s administrative hub and transport network. With 120 000 inhabitants, Rouen is the second largest city in Normandy (after Le Havre) and has a broader catchment area with a population in excess of c. 600 000 inhabitants.

In 2022, Saint Sever was refurbished with new flooring and ceilings, rest areas, redesigned entrances and toilets, high-performance panoramic lifts and modern and colourful children’s play areas. Saint Sever offers more than 100 shops. With the opening of a 6 700m² Primark store that trades over two floors on 1 December 2023, the mall has become the dominant shopping destination on the left bank of the river Seine.

The mall is anchored by E.Leclerc hypermarket (separate ownership) and has a mix of international fashion brands such as H&M, JD Sports, Mango, Promod and Sephora. The mall also has a 14-screen Kinepolis Cinema. A 1 200m2 New Yorker opened in November and has been performing well. In January 2024, a new lease was signed with Normal, the well-known European retailer. Normal will occupy a previously vacant space of 550m2
on the first floor of the centre.
