I see no reason to link Harrods to this page, without listing a lot of other department stores. It is better to leave this to the Department stores category which is already linked in the categories that the bottom of the page. I have deleted the link to Harrods.

History

It would seem that the history of La Samaritaine goes back further than this article indicates. I see a date of 186* as the earliest date on this page, but part V of "L'abbe' de Bucquoy," a story in Les Illuminés, mentions La Samaritaine, near pont Neuf (as Renneville is being conducted to La Bastille). Presumably the name of the department store took the name of the location (or something at that site). Les Illuminés was apparently published in 1852, but the story in question takes place in the early part of the 17th century, when Louis XIV was king. Gerard de Nerval was writing the story based on historical documents... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Butchart (talk • contribs) 05:20, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article on Pont Neuf actually details this - parts of it could be included here?

La Samaritaine

Between 1712 and 1719, replacing an earlier one, a large pump house was built on the bridge. It was decorated with an image of the Samaritan woman at the well. As a result, the structure (which included a carillon) was named La Samaritaine. Years after it was torn down (in 1813), Ernest Cognacq, a 19th-century merchant, set up a stand on the site and gradually grew his business to what became, in 1869, the department store La Samaritaine.

Reopening? Unlikely!

It is estimated that La Samaritaine will reopen its doors by the end of 2011. — This is not what's stated all over the building's walls. It's supposed to become apartments for low-income people (although such housing policies have been largely abused by wealthy politics over the past decades, who gave the apartments to themselves) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.151.4.122 (talk) 07:20, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Holy Motors

Should we perhaps mention the use of the interior and terrace of the now-empty building as a set in a lengthy sequence in the film 'Holy Motors? - Jmabel | Talk 06:28, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Editions

I am planning to edit this page with the hopes of expanding it's overall depth and exploring the department's architectural design in terms of the effects it had on consumerism. Here is a working bibliography that I have compiled thus far. I would love to hear any feedback as I begin my research and editing process.
