I very much regret its closure, we found everything to the Samaritan now we have to juggle between the canvas and specialized places but it will remain forever the most beautiful of the Parisian department stores.

Building in poor condition ...
After 5 years of attempts at renovation, and not of total reconstruction,

Too bad that the guardian of the place spend his time on the phone. I was given simulator training to introduce my group and allow them to return to their personal conversation
