'Café de Flore' sits on the corner of the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Rue St. Benoit, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. Historically, it has been famed for its intellectual clientele.

The classic Art Deco interior of all red seating, mahogany and mirrors has changed little since World 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 Beauvoir would meet here and discuss their philosophy of existentialism over a drink. The Cafe is currently undergoing renovation works, and will not be open until later this year.
The Prix de Flore, a literary prize inaugurated by Frédéric Beigbeder in 1994, is awarded annually at the Café de Flore.
