Description

At the bottom of this dead-end is located one of the oldest huge stores in Paris : "La Samaritaine" ! Unfortunately, because the roof was in a sorry plight, this store is closed now and the whole employees were burned out ! This shot, taken this week end shows to you that this wonderfull place is still in the same condition since several years and nothing happens regarding any restoration. . . Until when ? Sad report! °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Au fond de cette impasse se trouve un des plus ancien et grand magasin parisien : "La Samaritaine"! Hélas, sous prétexte que le toit de la structure était en mauvais état, ce magasin a du être fermé et le personnel fut licencié! Ce cliché pris ce weekend vous montre que ce superbe magasin est toujours dans le même état et qu'il ne se passe rien quant à la rénovation de celui-ci... jusqu'à quand? Triste constat! And thank you very much for your comments on my previous upload:

The street scene shows so much character that its sad to think it is not revived to its former glory. Great POV Janis.

Yes, it is really a sad story, Janis, but the capture is so beautiful.

Excellent image. Alas, we have some fine old buildings here in our town, but some buildings which are still for good use get torn down, and a newer, more "pop" type of architecture replaces it. I fear we will have not much left one day. I hope they restore the building. We need to keep our history! Europe is great for that.... but not so much here. ;o)

Janis c'est une photo superbe qui a tant de sens. Il est vraiment triste que nous permettions aux grandes structures d'être l'abandon parce qu'ils sont vieux. J'espère un jour qu'ils peuvent donner la nouvelle vie à cette région.

Oui, la Samaritaine est une institution parisienne et c'est dommage de ne pas restaurer le batiment. Une très belle photo avec une atmosphère très parisienne

A sad “ending” only to bring in a new beginning hopefully…. Although your capture is wonderful, and I admire the perspective. I see the “dead end” in another sense as well, yet cannot quite explain that “narrowing in” feeling I get when looking ahead. Marvelous sky, and you’ve certainly captured a lovely and powerful mood and atmosphere that seems to speak stories for itself!

Pour la Samaritaine je crois que c'était un cauchemar de pompiers, mais les propriétaires en ont profité pour virer tout le monde. Le postwork est parfait.

You know my Beautiful It is of value that they really do not take account of beauties historical the of a nation. The money attracts the money and it everywhere is all similar which distresses of to see these losses in a district Cheer of the love which you emerge from your knowledge to hold up the flames of the conservatives Mile mercies of your large heart ((5++)) Tu sais ma Belle c'est de valeur qu'ils ne tiennent vraiment pas compte des beautées historiques d'une nation . L'argent attire l'argent et c'est tout patout pareil quelles détresses de s'apercevoir de ces pertes dans un quartier Bravo de l'amour que tu émerge de tes savoir pour brandir les flammes des conservateurs Mile mercis de ton grand coeur ((5++))
