Quick--name of dept store
 

what is the name of the department store with the fabulous view? Daughter just arrived in paris and I want to e-mail her with directins for the "fre" view.

THANKS

"fre" is not a word,tho it looks French. I meant FREE.

Samaritaine

Samaritaine is what most think of, but do not dismiss the view from the top of Printemps. There you have a much more pleasant self-serve cafe than the sandwich place at Samaritaine....and no fee to go to the top of the Printemps rooftop.

Do they charge now to go to the top of the Samaritaine? When did it change and how much is it?

No charge to get to the cafe level and from there the view is just wonderful - you can see in every direction while enjoying a nice cafe lunch and sitting next to planters filled with fragrantlavendar, rosemary and thyme.

In Paris two weeks ago, the top floor of Samaritaine - where you can view Paris - was closed. They still had loads of bargains in the sales though, so it was well worth a visit.

Samaritaine. My favority honeymoon picture is of us on the rooftop with the Eiffel tower in the background.

It is La Samaritaine. Also you can go to the rooftop of Galleries Lafayette not as impressive but still fun. And I like the inside of Galleries Lafayette better than La Samaritaine.
I hope she's having fun!

But Printemps is good also as someone else said. Just emphasizing.
