Duty-free retailer DFS is landing in Paris by reopening the La Samaritaine complex, bringing the historic department store back to its erstwhile splendour. The 70,000-square-metre complex, owned by LVMH, is located in the heart of Paris, between rue de Rivoli and the river Seine. Besides the luxury department store operated by DFS, it will host a Cheval Blanc hotel, offices, affordable housing, and a nursery.
