Just a small shop when it opened in 1870, La Samaritaine continued to grow, subsequently becoming an urban island dedicated to commerce. In the years from 1900 to 1930 the renowned architect Frantz Jourdain, assisted by his son Francis and Henri Sauvage, worked on the design of the Samaritaine, creating an Art Nouveau and Art Deco masterpiece. Closed in 2005, La Samaritaine has now been reborn under the guidance of LVMH. Restored, transformed and embellished, both preserved and new, it has become an ensemble with a new department store (Samaritaine Paris Pont-Neuf), offices, social housing, a day care centre and the Cheval Blanc Paris hotel.--Back cover.
An emblematic Art Deco façade on the Seine side. A new softly undulating glass skin on rue de Rivoli. An aerial structure made entirely of metal and glass. Solar, flowery and colorful interior ornaments. A large canopy, promise of light. A masterpiece of Art Nouveau. After 15 years of work and a major renovation, La Samaritaine is reopening its doors. This 'cathedral of modern commerce' - as Émile Zola likes to put it in the novel Au Bonheur des Dames - is reviving its splendor of yesteryear. The restoration, which includes a new varied program, pays homage to the designs of the Cognacq-Jays and the visions of the architects Frantz Jourdain and Henri Sauvage. Driven by an international team where the know-how of the SANAA, FBAA, SRA Architectes and Maison Édouard François agencies was coupled with the excellence of many craftsmen, the site took place under the watchful eye of the architect. chief architect of historical monuments Jean-François Lagneau and companies Vinci Construction and Egis
Une façade Art Déco emblématique côté Seine. Une nouvelle peau de verre à l'ondulation douce rue de Rivoli. Une structure aérienne tout de métal et de verre. Des ornements intérieurs solaires, fleuris et colorés. Une grande verrière, promesse de lumière. Un chef d'oeuvre de l'Art Nouveau. Après 15 ans de travaux et une rénovation d'envergure, la Samaritaine rouvre ses portes. Cette ' cathédrale du commerce moderne ' - ainsi qu'Émile Zola se plaît à le formuler dans le roman Au Bonheur des Dames renoue avec son faste d'autrefois. La restauration, qui comprend une nouvelle programmation variée, rend hommage aux desseins des Cognacq-Jay et aux visions des architectes Frantz Jourdain et Henri Sauvage. Porté par une équipe internationale où le savoir-faire des agences SANAA, FBAA, SRA Architectes et Maison Édouard François s'est doublé de l'excellence de nombreux artisans d'art, le chantier s'est déroulé sous le regard attentif de l?architecte en chef des monuments historiques Jean-François Lagneau et des entreprises Vinci Construction et Egis.
