Originally built in 1905 by architect Frantz Jourdain, La Samaritaine is a prime example of Art Nouveau architecture in Paris. The building features elaborate ironwork, colorful mosaics, and large glass windows typical of the style. After years of restoration, the department store reopened, preserving much of its original Art Nouveau charm.
