Café de Flore

Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAF : Café de Flore


Café de Flore sits just off the Boulevard Saint-Germain, on the Rue Bonaparte, in Paris, France. Historically, it has been famed for its intellectual clientele.

The classic Art Deco interior of all red seating, mahogany and mirrors has changed little since World War II. Like its main rival, Les Deux Magots, it has hosted most of the French intellectuals during the post-war years. It is said that Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir would meet here and discuss their philosophy of existentialism over a drink.
