Frequently asked questions about Samaritaine
Is the photo booth at Samaritaine still working?
Yes, as far as we know. We last checked on May 18, 2026. If you turn up and it's out of order, tap "Report an issue" on this page so the next person doesn't waste a trip.
How much is a strip at Samaritaine, and can I pay by card?
The price is posted on the machine. Cash only — bring coins or small notes. Most analog booths in this range run a few pounds, euros or dollars a strip.
Is Samaritaine a real film photo booth or a digital one?
Real film. The strip is developed with real photo chemistry inside the machine, so give it a few minutes to drop.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to Samaritaine?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at Samaritaine, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.
What time can I use the booth at Samaritaine?
Daily Open. The booth is inside the venue, so those are the hours that matter.
How do I get to Samaritaine?
It's at 9 Rue de la Monnaie, Paris. Pop the address into your maps app for directions.
Can I get into Samaritaine with a wheelchair or a pram?
We haven't checked access at this venue. Classic booths have a fixed bench and a curtain, so the booth itself is a tight fit; the venue's own access is the thing to ask them about.
What if the booth at Samaritaine is out of order when I get there?
It happens — these machines are decades old. Scroll to "Nearest booths" in Paris for the closest alternative, and tap "Report an issue" so we can flag it for everyone else.
When was Samaritaine last checked?
May 18, 2026, by us. If you've been more recently, mark it visited on this page — that's how we keep listings honest.
