By all accounts, owners, LVMH, have created something truly special on the banks of the Seine, near Pont Neuf.
They've taken the legendary Art Noveau/Art Deco buildings and brought them into the 21st century thanks to amazing design, €750 million and of course quite a bit of time. The wait has been worth it and in fact, the timing could not be better. The re-opening of this monument to commerce is more than just a new beginning for a Parisian icon but also marks a fresh start for France and Europe as lockdown restrictions are eased.
LVMH says La Samaritaine is “More than a store – the new Parisian destination.” Part of the renovation includes a T Galleria by the DFS Group, offering unique collections from the world’s most luxurious collections. The duty and tax paid range will include beauty and fragrances, fashion and accessories, watches and jewellery, and food, wines and spirits. Eight restaurants, bars and cafes will complete the consumer experience.
This is very much destination shopping and La Samaritaine is geared up for the international traveller, who is looking for the best that brands can offer. In its previous heyday La Samaritaine boasted that “You find everything at La Samaritaine.” As it reopens its doors that might be updated to say, “You find the best of everything at La Samaritaine.”
It may be some time before La Samaritaine welcomes the volume of well-heeled travellers it has been designed for but everything is already in place for them to make the most of Tax Free shopping.
We’ve played a major role in implementing the most advanced VAT Refund system so that DFS can issue Tax Free transactions and process refunds instantly. The whole set-up has been delivered with safety, experience and efficiency as the guiding values.
More than 150 tills are digitally integrated with our VAT Refund system. A shopper simply scans their passport at one till to verify they qualify for Tax Free and the next time they buy something their transactions are digitally collated. Smart!
In addition, if shoppers want an instant refund, they can use one of our kiosks in our lounge on level -1 to get their money back instantly. The kiosks are very easy to use, but we have highly trained customer care members on hand to help just in case. They all speak at least three languages and are experts in the art of Tax Free shopping.
La Samaritaine is now amongst the world’s leading retail destinations in one of the world’s most prestigious cities for luxury shopping. When travel opens up properly, La Samaritaine expects lots of visitors from across the world. Our customer care members are given special cultural training to ensure that Tax Free moment is perfect for everyone.
Ultimately, customers want to enjoy a fully bespoke luxury retail experience when the shop at DFS; one that reflects the grandeur and heritage of La Samaritaine, supported with the very best in Tax Free shopping.
The service at La Samaritaine will be a new level of luxury, even for very VIPs. They’ll have their own dedicated VIP lounge where they can view watches, jewellery or whatever else takes their fancy away from public gaze. They will even have their own personal refund kiosk so they can benefit from making Tax Free purchases.
Mind blowing!
