Come With Me to La Samaritaine Department Store in Paris

Come with me as I take you to La Samaritaine Paris Pont-Neuf, showcasing everything it has to offer and my reaction as I tour the complex.

The Samaritan building has a long history in Paris. It was opened in 1869 by Ernest Cognacq and Marie-Louise Jaÿ and became a symbol of Parisian luxury. Its name came from the nearby Samaritaine fountain, which provided water to Parisians. Over the years, the building expanded and blended Art Deco and modernist styles. After closing for renovations in 2005, it reopened in 2021 as a high-end complex with shopping, hotels, and restaurants, preserving its historical charm.
