Welcome to Samaritaine. Founded by Ernest and Marie-Louie Cognac-Jaÿ in 1870, what started as a small boutique on rue de Pont-Neuf has become much more than just a department store: it has become the go-to destination in the heart of the capital. Visit each floor, and let the space tempt you with its beauty. Fall for the creativity of a young designer or try a delicious pastry that you will not find anywhere else. Samaritaine has the ‘je ne sais quoi’ that tourists from all over the world come looking for in Paris.
Because Paris is unique, Samaritaine has created a new and exclusive collection of dining and refreshment spots. Under the majestic art nouveau-style glass roof, Voyage is a destination in itself: an ‘all-day’ bar & restaurant. A delightful venue for entertainment, art, culture, and incredible culinary experiences. So chic, so Paris, so Samaritaine!
At Samaritaine you will discover a creative freedom that sparks spontaneity and spirit as you browse more than 600 brands, including the largest beauty department in Europe. The giant treasure trove embodies and reflects the best of ‘L’Art de Vivre’ à la Française, by embracing constant evolution and breaking down barriers. Where urban meets sophisticated, and the chic of avenue Montaigne meets the contemporary spirit of the Marais quarter: Samaritaine is the definition of cool luxury.
