An architecturally distinctive department store opposite the Pont-Neuf, offering chic clothing and products.

16 years: during all these years, La Samaritaine has seemed to evaporate from the Parisian landscape, little by little forgotten, before the beginning of huge works leading to the inauguration of the place in great pomp last June. Founded in 1869 by Ernest Cognacq, the Samaritaine department store had, over the course of its history, grown to occupy four buildings. Closed in 2005 after their purchase by LVMH, they are the subject of a complete transformation, restoring its luster to the place. The glass roof, the ceramics and mosaics on the facade, the majestic staircases: if the place now meets modern standards, it is with the good taste of having kept the initial aspect intact. Today, the building opposite the Pont-Neuf houses a 72-room luxury hotel. The other buildings include a store - the Samaritaine, therefore, where you can no longer find everything, as the advertisements used to say, but a lot of clothes and chic products - an exhibition gallery, offices, various shops, as well as a crèche and social housing. Architecturally, one of the façades of the complex - the one on rue de Rivoli - is clad with a vast and original wall of corrugated glass. Outside, a pedestrian forecourt on the west side has been created: it allows you to admire this complex, which we can logically assume will very quickly become the commercial powerhouse of the heart of Paris. A visit here is almost compulsory!

J'aime déambuler dans ce bâtiment historique. rénové il y a quelques années, le lieu est devenu un peu moins le bazar qu'il était et un peu plus le centre commercial huppe du quartier.
néanmoins les produits qui sont exposés sont certainement de qualité et les conseils sont abondants. Attention le site est séparé en plusieurs bâtiments.

Très belle rénovation du bâtiment. Par contre, uniquement des produits de luxe au prix affolant. Restaurants au dernier étage où les tarifs sont honnêtes.

A visiter absolument, ce magasin de luxe a été rénové après 16 ans de fermeture. Architecture et décoration magnifique, ambiance cosy et curieusement on a l'impression qu'il n y a pas de bruit. On peut visiter le dernier étage pour la vue qu'il offre, mais attention, le café c'est 9 euros.

Ne passez pas à côté
Même s'il faut d'abord regarder tout, partout, à l'extérieur, cette façade magnifique... rentrez sans hésiter dans ce monde du luxe, si parisien. Élégance et chic sont habilement respectés. Et cet escalier monumental qui vous emmène sous la verrière...effet wouah !
