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:

Fabulous shot. You have really brought out the beauty of this structure. It's sad that it has not been restored.

Interesting desolation - even the flagpole is a silent reminder of disuse.

That is a splendid view of the storefront. It's a shame it's not getting fixed up.

C'était peut-être un pretexte pour licencier ........... Espéront que ce bâtiment retrouvera une nouvelle jeunesse. En tout cas c'est très bien cadré.......

C'est tellement rare, une rue entièrement vide dans Paris. Tu as vraiment su faire ressortir l'abandon de la Samaritaine. C'est beau et poignant à la fois.

Sorry that I haven´t comment all of your images the weeks ago, but along the summertime I´m really busy outdoor. But I always take a look on my faves but I´m most too tired to write something in foreign language blush. How ever, wonderful made image again and I really enjoy to see it!!
