La Samaritaine in Paris

You're standing outside La Samaritaine, a big department store in the first arrondissement of Paris, close to the Pont Neuf. Start with the façade. It's covered in ceramic panels in yellow, white, green and gold. The name Samaritaine is spelled out in colourful enamel, in elaborate lettering, surrounded by flower motifs. And see the domes made of glass brick? They light up at night.
