Samaritaine, the ultimate VIP shopping experience in Paris
Paris is the capital of fashion and luxury. Part of the LVMH group (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennesy), Samaritaine stands out for its expertise in personal styling and its unique approach to luxury shopping in Paris. If you haven’t been yet to the department store, you'll understand that Samaritaine is a reference in terms of designer shopping in Paris. This unique department store is the epitome of French luxury lifestyle.
A piece of history…
Samaritaine was founded in 1870 on rue du Pont-Neuf by the Parisian merchant couple Ernest Cognacq and Marie-Louise Jaÿ. After closing its doors in 2005, Samaritaine will reopen to the public in 2021 following impressive renovation work that is bringing new life into the legendary Art Nouveau building. Today, the small boutique on rue du Pont-Neuf has become much more than just a department store: it has become the go-to destination in the heart of the capital.
LVMH is behind the new generation of Samaritaine. Following its reopening in 2021, the Group has decided to entrust DFS, the world leader in the sale of luxury goods to travellers and owned by LVMH, with the operation and design of Samaritaine. The department store covers 20,000 square meters and offers a selection of over 600 iconic luxury brands from the worlds of gastronomy, fashion, jewellery and the art of living, as well as the largest beauty area in Europe.
L’Appartement
At Samaritaine, you can also enjoy a shopping experience with a unique, personalized service. Our VIP private lounge is called l'Appartement. Samaritaine has created an exclusive space, as chic and cosy as a Parisian pied-a-terre. L'Appartement is an exclusive 250 sqm space with 4 private rooms and filled with refined touches. A truly personalized experience, you'll be welcomed by dedicated, attentive and multilingual staff, who will ensure you have the best shopping experience.
