The Café de Flore, at the corner of the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Rue St. Benoit, in the VIe arrondissement of Paris, has long been celebrated for its intellectual clientele.
The classic Art Deco interior of all red seating, mahogany and mirrors has changed little sinceWorld 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 Beauvoirwould meet here and discuss their philosophy of existentialism over a drink.
The Prix de Flore, a literary prize inaugurated by Frédéric Beigbeder in 1994, is awarded annually at the Café de Flore.
