La Samaritaine est un grand magasin situé à Paris entre la rue de Rivoli et la Seine, à l'aplomb du pont Neuf dans le 1er arrondissement de Paris. Fondée en 1870 par Ernest Cognacq, La Samaritaine, devenue déficitaire, est rachetée par LVMH et ferme en 2005 pour réaménagement de ses bâtiments et mise aux normes de sécurité. La Samaritaine reste, jusqu'à sa fermeture, le grand magasin parisien le plus important par sa taille, avec ses quatre magasins totalisant une surface de vente de 48 000 m2.
La réouverture de La Samaritaine (réduite à 10 000 m2 contre 30 000 m2 avant 2005), a pris 10 ans de retard en raison de multiples péripéties (des recours juridiques et la pandémie de Covid-19) et a finalement lieu le 23 juin 2021.
Ses bâtiments de style art nouveau et art déco sont l'œuvre des architectes Frantz Jourdain et Henri Sauvage ; le magasin principal est inscrit au titre des monuments historiques.

La grande fresque dite « des paons » orne le haut du bâtiment principal. Ce chef-d’œuvre Art nouveau, installé sous la verrière, est attribué à Francis Jourdain, le fils de Frantz Jourdain, l’architecte de la Samaritaine. La fresque incarne à elle seule l’image esthétique que nourrit l’édifice auprès du grand public. « Elle fait partie de ces éléments patrimoniaux d’origine que LVMH tenait absolument à préserver »
Après seize ans de fermeture, La Samaritaine rouvre ses portes au public le 23 juin au terme de multiples péripéties qui auront coûté 750 millions d’euros au groupe LVMH (propriétaire du « Parisien »). Fermé en 2005 pour des raisons de sécurité liées à sa vétusté, le célèbre magasin parisien a été complètement rénové. Entre 2012 et 2015, son chantier colossal a été suspendu par une série de recours d’associations de sauvegarde du patrimoine, contestant notamment la réalisation d’une façade contemporaine en verre, côté rue de Rivoli.
Joyaux de l’Art nouveau et de l’Art déco, les quatre bâtiments - dont un classé aux Monuments historiques - ont subi une grande restructuration qui valorise les éléments d’époque : mosaïques, émaux, verrières, garde-corps, pavés de verre…
« On trouve tout à la Samaritaine ! », scandaient les publicités des années 1960-1970. Aujourd’hui, le grand magasin du Ier arrondissement s’est recentré sur l’univers du luxe et de l’art contemporain. Les galeries marchandes occupent 20 000 m2 et l’ensemble s’est enrichi d’un hôtel de Cheval Blanc (marque détenue par LVMH) de 72 chambres et suites avec vue plongeante sur la Seine, ainsi que des logements.
The building of the Louis Vuitton Foundation (previously Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, in French "Fondation Louis-Vuitton pour la création"), started in 2006, is an art museum and cultural center sponsored by the group LVMH and its subsidiaries. It is run as a legally separate, nonprofit entity as part of LVMH's promotion of art and culture.The $143 million museum in Paris was opened in October 2014. The building was designed by the architect Frank Gehry, and is adjacent to the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne of the 16th arrondissement of Paris. In 2001, Bernard Arnault, the Chairman of LVMH, met Frank Gehry, and told him of plans for a new building for the Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. The building project was first presented in 2006, with costs estimated at around €100 million ($127 million) and plans to open in late 2009 or early 2010. Suzanne Pagé, then director of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, was named the foundation’s artistic director in charge of developing the museum's program. The city of Paris which owns the park granted a building permit in 2007. In 2011, an association for the safeguard of the Bois de Boulogne won a court battle, as the judge ruled the centre had been built too close to a tiny asphalt road deemed a public right of way. Opponents to the site had also complained that a new building would disrupt the verdant peace of the historic park. The city appealed the court decision. Renowned French architect Jean Nouvel backed Gehry and said of the objectors: "With their little tight-fitting suits, they want to put Paris in formalin. It's quite pathetic." Eventually a special law was passed by the Assemblée Nationale that the Fondation was in the national interest and “a major work of art for the whole world,” which allowed it to proceed. The museum opened to the public in October, at a reported cost of $143 million. Before the official opening, it provided the venue for Louis Vuitton’s women’s spring/summer 2015 fashion show. In May 2017, Marianne, a French news magazine, revealed the final cost of the building: €780 million, close to $900 million. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Vuitton_Foundation

The Venice Simplon Orient Express is one of the most famous luxury trains in the world. The train connects a number of European cities, such as London, Paris, Venice and Istanbul. The original 1920 carriages have been carefully restored and transport you to another time with the comforts of today. An Art Deco decor, gastronomic indulgence, live entertainment, a unique experience. On June 22, 2021, this train came from Venice to Amsterdam to return to Venice on June 24, 2021. On June 23, there was a press moment in Haarlem where the train was at the platform for a few hours.
The Orient Express is an attraction for young and less young!
Venice-Simplon Orient Express
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (VSOE) is a private luxury train service from London to Venice and other European cities. It is currently owned by Belmond, which operates 45 luxury hotels, restaurants, tourist trains and river cruises in 24 countries. It was agreed in December 2018 for the service to be acquired by LVMH in a transaction initially expected to close in the first half of 2019.
These VSOE services are not to be confused with a regularly scheduled train called the Orient Express, which ran nightly between Paris and Bucharest - in the last years of operation cut back to between Strasbourg and Vienna - until 11 December 2009. This latter was a normal EuroNight sleeper train and was the lineal descendant of the regular Orient Express daily departure from Paris to Vienna and the Balkans. While this descendant train was primarily used for every sort of passengers to Central and Eastern Europe, applying only the standard international train fares, the VSOE train is aimed at tourists looking to take a luxury train ride. Fares on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express are high as the service is intended not as an ordinary rail service, but as a leisure event with five-star dining included.
The train was established in 1982 by James Sherwood of Kentucky, USA. In 1977 he had bought two original carriages at an auction when the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits withdrew from the Orient Express service, passing the service on to the national railways of France, Germany, and Austria. Over the next few years, Sherwood spent a total of US$16 million purchasing 35 sleeper, restaurant and Pullman carriages. On 25 May 1982, the first London–Venice run was made.
The VSOE has separate restored carriages for use in the UK and for mainland Europe, but all of the same vintage (mostly dating from the 1920s and 1930s). Passengers are conveyed across the English Channel by coach on the Eurotunnel shuttle through the Channel Tunnel. In the UK Pullman carriages are used; in continental Europe sleeping cars and dining cars of the former Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits are used. Sleeper carriages have a range of accommodation available including Grand Suites, Cabin Suites, Twin Cabins and Single cabins.
VSOE runs services between March and November. The classical London - Paris - Milan - Venice (and return) route via the Simplon Tunnel was altered in 1984 to serve Zürich, Innsbruck and Verona through the Brenner Pass. This journey is offered once or twice a week, depending on other trips. Two or three times a year Prague or Vienna and Budapest are also accessed, starting from Venice, and returning to Paris and London. Every September the train also travels from London and Paris to Istanbul via Budapest, Sinaia and Bucharest - in the last three cities a sightseeing tour (and in the two capitals an overnight stay in a hotel) also takes place - the return trip on the same route ends in Venice.

C’est à partir de cette photo là que je me suis fait virer. Comme d‘hab :-) 2 vigiles sont sortis du bâtiment.
Mais franchement, chez LVMH, les vigiles sont classes (costard cravate) et très sympathiques. C’est vrai en plus. Cela faisait longtemps que je prenais des photos, ils m'ont expliqué qu’ils me surveillaient avec leurs caméras depuis le début (je m'en doutais). Qu’il n’y avait pas de problèmes tant que je ne photographiais pas les bureaux. Dans ces cas-là, discuter ne sert à rien, t’obtempère :-)))) Heureusement ils sont arrivés trop tard car, de la série, c’est la tof que je préfère. La leçon, quand l'on se sait surveillé, c'est de toujours commencer par shooter ce qui ne fâche pas et finir par ce qui fâche. Cela évite d'être virer trop top :-)
Fondation d'entreprise Louis Vuitton :
Le bâtiment, conçu par l'architecte Frank Gehry, est situé au Jardin d'acclimatation, dans le bois de Boulogne à Paris. Ce projet qui se veut une réplique à la fondation Pinault installée à Venise, est l'expression médiatique de la concurrence entre Bernard Arnault, le patron du numéro un mondial du luxe, et son rival François Pinault.
L'inauguration a eu lieu le 27 octobre 2014.
En 2001, Bernard Arnault rencontre Frank Gehry, architecte récompensé par le prix Pritzker en 1989. Il lui confie le projet d’un édifice pour la Fondation Louis Vuitton pour la création, à Paris, au sud du Jardin d'acclimatation.
Sous la main de l’architecte, l’édifice en verre prend l’allure d’un voilier aux voiles gonflées par le vent d'ouest, donnant ainsi l'illusion du mouvement.
Chacune de ces voiles, de forme et de courbure différentes, est soutenue par un jeu sophistiqué de poutres en acier et en bois, et est composée de 3 600 panneaux de verre sérigraphié de pastilles qui réfléchissent 50 % de l'énergie lumineuse.
Les douze voiles de verre translucides enveloppent le bâtiment comparé à un « iceberg », car blanc et entouré d’eau.
Cette partie de la construction, située sous les 12 voiles de verre translucides, est une succession de formes blanches organiques habillés en béton ductal (décomposés en 19 000 panneaux tous différents et décalés pour créer, selon l'expression de Frank Gehry, un motif en « tremblement de terre »). C’est cette « Iceberg », semblant flotter sur son bassin d'eau, qui porte des terrasses arborées. Ces volumes sont séparés par des ouvertures, des failles et des superpositions qui sont refermées par des parois vitrées se décomposant en quarante-six ouvrages de configurations très diverses, si bien qu'il est difficile de distinguer façades et toitures.

La Samaritaine reste, jusqu'à sa fermeture, le grand magasin parisien le plus important par sa taille, avec ses quatre magasins totalisant une surface de vente de 48 000 m2.
La réouverture de La Samaritaine (réduite à 10 000 m2 contre 30 000 m2 avant 2005), a pris 10 ans de retard en raison de multiples péripéties (des recours juridiques et la pandémie de Covid-19) et a finalement lieu le 23 juin 2021.
Ses bâtiments de style art nouveau et art déco sont l'œuvre des architectes Frantz Jourdain et Henri Sauvage ; le magasin principal est inscrit au titre des monuments historiques.
