"The Café de Flore is a café in the district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés of the 6th arrondissement in Paris. It is located on the corner of Boulevard Saint-Germain no. 172 and Rue Saint-Benoît.

The café was opened in 1887, during the period of the Third Republic. It owes its name to a sculpture of the goddess Flora, which stood on the other side of the road. In the 1920s, Charles Maurras lived above Café de Flore, where he wrote his book, Au signe de Flore, published in 1931.
Many intellectuals, such as Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, who held a press conference in 1964 for the expulsion of the Nobel Prize in Literature, and artists such as Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, Boris Vian, Guillaume Apollinaire and Jean Cocteau. Karl Lagerfeld, who lives near the café (rue de Lille 7), is often a guest at Café de Flore.
Every year in November, the Prix de Flore Prix de Flore, 1994 by Frédéric Beigbeder, is given to young promising authors.
