As the fashion capital, Paris, France, has also put on beautiful holiday decorations, such as the legendary Parisian department store Samaritaine, Champs-Élysées, Vendôme Square, and other landmarks are all lit up with dazzling lights, celebrating Christmas together!

Located near famous landmarks such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre, “La Samaritaine” in Paris has finally completed its renovation after 16 years of closure this year. It has reopened with a new look that combines the styles of the Art Nouveau movement and Art Deco, with several brands under the LVMH group moving in, including fashion, beauty, jewelry, and luxury brands, along with high-end hotels and various themed restaurants, making it a one-stop shopping and dining paradise.
After reopening this year, La Samaritaine welcomes its first Christmas. In this 7-story, over 6,000 square meter department store, not only are the shop windows filled with twinkling lights, but the carved staircase is also decorated with green Christmas decorations. With decorations resembling a Christmas calendar, set against vintage-style art murals, it creates a charming contrast. In the center of the mall stands a 10-meter tall Christmas tree, shining brightly in gold, surrounded by several small Christmas trees, creating a festive atmosphere.
