Charles-Guillaume and Auguste Havas take over the Agency’s management from their father.
The Agency starts to use electrical telegraphs, an invention which enables it to expand.
Soon it is better and faster informed of what is going on in the world.
In response to the Crimean war (1854-1856) it extends its European network all the way to Saint Petersburg and the Bosphorus.
From 1835 to 1875, the Agence Havas offices are located on rue
Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Paris,
opposite the General Post Office.
