Le Cafe de Flore

Le Café de Flore never goes out of style, from Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir to the models of Paris Fashion Week.

A true institution in the neighborhood of St-Germain-des-Pres . This café, which welcomed the most famous names in literature in the 20th century, It has now become a fashionable place, without changing, yes, a single iota of style and decoration original from the place. During Paris Fashion Week, designers and models pause between shows at their tables, considered one of the best windows to be seen. Lifelong parishioners throw their hands up: "This is not what it used to be", they comment irritated... but they end up coming back, because Flore is a lot of Flore.

Dozens of anecdotes have been told to us during our visits to this café, but our favorite is the one that refers to the mythical couple made up of Jean-Paul Sartre Y Simone deBeauvoir , who used to spend more than eight hours in a row every day here. And yes, they may have loved the atmosphere or the taste of the coffee, but above all they appreciated spending the whole day sheltered from the frigid Parisian winter for the price of a coffee . That must be why now the cost of them is almost 7 euros (You have been warned in case someone thinks of emulating the famous couple). The unsympathetic service is surely another deterrent against the Pauls and Simones of our times.
