Café de Flore

Café de Flore is one of the oldest cafés in Paris. Founded in 1887, it stands on the corner of boulevard Saint-Germain and rue Saint-Benoît, in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in the 6th arrondissement. Its fame owes much to the clientele of former days, which included celebrated writers and philosophers.

The café remains a favourite meeting place for well-known faces, and its standing draws many visitors. Open every day from 7.30 am to 1.30 am, with no reservations, Café de Flore welcomes regulars and passing visitors from early morning until the small hours, true to the spirit of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
