Samaritaine: Les Grands Magasins

  • Name of Shop: Samaritaine

    Before I find a picture of the Galleries Lafayette, the Samaritaine will have to do it. It is a shopping tip in its own right. The great Parisian department stores (as they say in French, "Les Grands-Magasins") are the G. Lafayette, Au Printemps (these two occupy, each, some entire blocks behind the Opera), followed by the Samaritaine and the Bazar de l`Hotel-de-Ville (BHV). If you saw that movie The Bourne Identity, you`ll recognize the open lounge of the Samaritaine and its view over the Pont Neuf, right Christine??

  • Name of Shop: The Parisian shopping galleries

    There are a few of these old-time shopping galleries around Paris, linking the streets. They're usually specialized in antiques, used books or collectibles in general, and some have really beautiful designs.

     The worst hotel. It isn'tas shown on photos and video. Cubicle, smelly rooms, rude staff. Front desk was not allowed to call a shuttle to airport because they only sell Air France bus. Stay in somewhere else to avoid wasting your money

     Really nice page on Paris. So many things I still have to see in my own city ! I love the galleries too. Parabens !

     You have some great restaurant tips. They will come in handy for my upcoming Paris trip.
