Cafe de Flore

About

Founded in the late 1880s, Café de Flore has become an iconic haunt of Parisian intellectuals and artists. Located at 172 boulevard Saint-Germain in the 6th arrondissement, the café is celebrated for its Art Deco interior, timeless tables, and the café‑culture that inspired the likes of Picasso, Sartre and Hemingway. Operating daily from 7:30 am until the early hours at 1:30 am, it offers classic French breakfasts, breads, café‑concentrations, and a selection of pâtisseries and light meals, while a full bar presents a range of wines and spirits. The surrounding Saint‑Germain‑des‑Prés quarter adds to the ambiance, and visitors often remark on the sense of history and conversation that permeates the space, from daybreak to late night.
