(ANSA) - PARIS, June 07 - The reopening of the La Samaritaine department stores, initially scheduled for June 19, has been postponed to June 23. After a 15-year closure and six years of refurbishment, the famous department stores in Paris have been completely refurbished.
The gigantic construction site, conducted to the sound of millions by LVMH, the luxury giant owned by Bernard Arnault, has restored the complex to its former glory. To carry out the project, the French businessman, one of the richest men in the world, paid out 750 million euros. At the end of the nineteenth century the Samaritaine was listed among the so-called "cathedrals of modern commerce". (HANDLE).
