    Samaritaine: Tradition and style
  • Tip Rating:
  • Written by Fam_Stoica on Jul 4, 2005

  • Send to a Friend
  • Name of Shop: La Samaritaine

    La Samaritaine is one of the oldest (133 years) and largest (32,000 sqm of commercial floor space) chain-department store in Paris. A panoramic terrace on the 11th and top floor, situated 74 metres above street level offers an outstanding 360 degree view.

    La Samaritaine owes its name to the hydraulic pump installed near the Pont-Neuf and which operated from 1609 to 1813. On the front of the pump was a gilded bas-relief showing the good Samaritan talking to the Christ at Jacob's well.

    Located between the Louvre and Notre-Dame, La Samaritaine is in fact an architectural monument in which Art Nouveau and Art Déco blend harmoniously. Frantz Jourdain (1847-1935), an avant-garde artist of his time and enamoured of Art Nouveau, was the main architect, assisted by his friend and partner Henri Sauvage, who designed many of the Art Déco elements in the building, an architectural style of which he was very fond.

    What To Buy: Clothes, jewellery, perfumes, furniture & accessories, sport equipment etc.

    What To Pay: 100 - 500 EUR
