Local before arrival
Named after “Flore,” the statuette that stood next to the café around 1887, this café was something of an office for the brightest minds of France, from Jacques Prévert to André Breton. Café de Flore is a Parisian institution not to be missed. A lovers’ haunt for Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, the Flore remains an exceptional hideout, and is home to the literary prize Prix de Flore, presented in this truly historical setting to talented young authors every November.
