Samaritaine | Willy Wonka

 

On Sunday Bear 🐻 wanted to get out of the house. So did I 👍

Even if the weather was a bit inclement, Samaritaine at Pont Neuf was only 19 minutes away on ligne 7.

You enter in through the gift 🎁 shop, Boutique de Loulou.

Lots of affordable gifts, chatchkas & fun things to browse.

Like this adorable big mushroom hat for kiddies (41€)

Bear gets into the act ! 

Or this Dijon moutard tree ornament…(14€)

Fun bougies/candles perfect to serve 

For le Reveillon de Noël

The new Willy Wonka movie is coming out. Doesn’t this look like Paris’ Grand Palais? It’s probably in Bristol, UK 🇬🇧 

So that’s Samaritaine’s Noël theme this year - very customer friendly. Their staff are friendly too. 

Sparkly festive decor throughout 

I kind of missed last year’s huge Christmas tree,

 Instead of this Willy Wonka chocolate 🍫 concoction. 

There are places to sit - yellow Metro seats at Veuve. A rarity in most department stores

Thank you Veuve champagne 🥂 👏

What shoppers were wearing…

The face of Samaritaine’s Xmas newsletter is an elegant older gal 

She graces the windows

Now this was FUN! A fun way to spend Sunday

Outside a busking horn band played for us.
