	La Samaritaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		La Samaritaine is a large department store in Paris, France.
		On the front of the pump was a gilded bas relief of the Good Samaritan.
		On 10 June, 2005 it was announced that La Samaritaine was to be shut for several years because inspections found it a serious fire risk.

	Uncertain Future for La Samaritaine Workers
		Of the 1,500 employees working at La Samaritaine, almost 600 are employed on site as demonstrators by other companies and are not paid by Samaritaine.
		The lawyer acting for La Samaritaine’s works council argues that 'the announcement overnight of a closure for reasons known about for years is questionable'.
		It is true that for a number of years, the firm had been closing many of its departments, and its turnover had been constantly falling: from EUR 147 million in 2001 to EUR 108 million in 2004.

		In 2002, the LVMH conglomerate purchased La Samaritaine and dramatically converted it into a very upscale, very overpriced department store with a restricted selection of fashionable junk featuring prominently in the inventory.
		The old Samaritaine is thus gone, although two of the three buildings are still occupied by the store.
		La Samaritaine, so named after a hydraulic pump near the pont-Neuf that operated 1609-1813; a gilded relief on the front of the pump showed the good Samairtaine talking to Christ's at Jocob's well.

		The LVMH group may not be happy with the faint results achieved only with considerable effort for their department stores, when they are more used to double-digit profits from their other luxury goods sectors.

		Samaritaine is a store near the River Seine which offers one of the best views of Paris from its roof.
		The great thing about the roof of the Samaritaine is that your photographs will include all the other viewpoints such as the Eiffel Tower, the Sacre Coeur and the Tour de Montparnasse and you get a very good view of Notre Dame.
		Location: This is part of the view that you get from the roof of Samaritaine showing the illustrated balustrade giving the key to the buildings of interest.

	Notes From A Café : Travel stories from the deep end: La Samaritaine
		In the store, I bypassed the masses who were rifling through some pink tafetta material on hangers, and made a beeline for the elevator.
		Last year, they decided to shut down La Samaritaine due to its being a “fire risk.” I have to give props to the store for continuing to give its workers full pay during this time.
		They shot the film during winter, clearing away the lush lavendar plants as well as the existing café (when I was there, you had to weave your way around the wooden slatted chairs and the patrons sitting on them to indulge in a good bit of photo-snapping).

	The New Yorker: Fact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Samaritaine department store sits, vast and proud and ten stories high, on the right edge of the Seine; its terrace commands the best view of Paris around, its roof flies two pennants, its prow-shaped front seems more docked than settled on the riverbank.
		L.V.M.H. insists that it intends to reopen the Samaritaine as a department store, but it understands, perhaps, that only an imposed or invented crisis can clear the way (and, the employees fear, get rid of the employees’ union) for whatever it is, exactly, that it wants to do.
		Walking home, some people guessed that the display had been meant to end with the Olympic rings crowning the tower, just as in the TV clip, and that things had ended abruptly because no one had bothered to think about what to do if the games were lost.

	LVMH believes long-term closure 'best solution' for Samaritaine dept store - Forbes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		PARIS (AFX) - The chairman of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton department store La Samaritaine, Philippe de Beauvoir, said he believes the total closure of the landmark department store in central Paris for several years of repairs is the 'best solution'.
		La Samaritaine, whose art nouveau and art deco buildings were built between 1905-1930, recently failed a safety inspection from the Paris prefecture of police, especially with regards to fire risks.
		De Beauvoir said in a statement one of the two consultants advising the group warned against the 'strong increase in risk' implied by partial closure of the site while work takes place and has recommended a total closure during work expected to last 5-6 years.
