EDITORS COMMENTS
La Samaritaine: Paris's Grandest and Most Enduring Department Store The iconic La Samaritaine department store, located at 51 rue de Rivoli in the heart of Paris, has been a beloved institution for over a century. Established in 1869 by the visionary duo, Alphonse-Jules and Marguerite-Marie Davyn, the store quickly became a hub of innovation and commerce in the city. This stunning photograph captures the grandeur of the store's facade, with its ornate wrought-iron balconies and intricate stonework. The image transports us back to the early 20th century, a time when La Samaritaine was at the forefront of retail trade. The reverse of this card offers a glimpse into the history of this Parisian landmark. Portraits of the store's founders, Alphonse-Jules and Marguerite-Marie Davyn, grace the back, a testament to their entrepreneurial spirit and the legacy they left behind. La Samaritaine's story is one of resilience and reinvention. After a devastating fire in 2005, the store underwent a meticulous restoration, reopening its doors in 2009 as a modern retail destination while preserving its rich history. Today, it remains Paris's biggest and best department store, a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the enduring allure of La Samaritaine and the role it has played in the history of Parisian shopping.
