La Samaritaine is more than a luxury department store. It's a piece of Parisian history. What began in 1870 as a small shop founded by Ernest Cognacq and Marie-Louise Jaÿ eventually grew into one of the city's most iconic shopping destinations.
Named after a historic water pump that once stood near the Pont Neuf, the store expanded over the decades and became known for its striking Art Nouveau architecture.
After a 16-year closure and extensive restoration, La Samaritaine reopened as a luxury complex combining shops, restaurants, offices, and a hotel. The stores may draw people in, but the architecture is just as impressive. Between the soaring glass roof, ornate details, and sweeping staircase, it's worth stepping inside even if shopping isn't on your agenda.
Je suis convaincu que quand tu redonnes une chance à quelqu'un (ami, ex, famille...), la vie finit toujours par te rappeler pourquoi t'aurais dû laisser cette relation là où elle était : éteinte et enterrée.
When designing the Petals chapter of Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden, Chief Artistic Officer Nathalie Verdeille selected cushion-cut peridots for their distinctive and exceptionally vibrant blue-green hue. Whimsical ribbons set with round brilliant diamonds gently embrace the vibrant gemstones creating a sense of movement. Diamonds form bud-like accents that conceal an imaginative hidden petal within the design, making this suite a breathtaking reflection of the hidden surprises found in an ethereal garden. #TiffanyAndCo #TiffanyBlueBook #TiffanyHighJewelry

With rare and extraordinary gemstones at the heart of the chapter, Paradise Bird from Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden comes to life through sculptural and imaginative brooches. Inspired by the House’s iconic Bird on a Rock motif, the designs feature fantastical birds atop remarkable gemstones. From Australian boulder opal and American chrysocolla to Namibian unenhanced purple chalcedony, each center stone dictates the secondary gemstones used on the bird’s body creating perfect synergy throughout the piece. The result is a one-of-a-kind creation that celebrates the wonder of nature. #TiffanyAndCo #TiffanyBlueBook #TiffanyHighJewelry

This sightline through the Arc du Carrousel, past the Louvre Pyramid, and into the museum beyond is one of the more deliberate views in Paris. After dark, when everything is lit up, and the geometry snaps into focus, it's particularly striking.
Each element belongs to a different chapter of history. The arch was commissioned by Napoleon to mark his military victories. The palace-turned-museum behind it once served as a royal residence for French kings. The pyramid, added in 1989, was so controversial at the time that it sparked a national debate.
What's worth noticing is that none of it was torn down or replaced. The symbols of empire and monarchy were absorbed rather than demolished, gradually repurposed into public institutions.
Even the pyramid, once widely criticised, now looks like it was always meant to be there. This corridor is one of the places where you can see most clearly how the city has layered new meaning onto old structures without letting go of them entirely.
Bonjour à tous,
La vie est belle, chaque jour est une promesse d'émerveillement
Le soleil brille, votre cœur s'illumine, veuillez passer une belle et douce journée
Bisous tendresse !!!

Malheureusement, oui, j'abandonne définitivement les gens. Tu ne peux pas me décevoir en continu, me distraire, ne pas investir en moi et t'attendre à ce que je continue à être là pour toi. Impossible.
