French Caf é de Flore

Someone once compared cafes to the skeletons of France, saying that if they were torn down, France would fall apart.

Xu Zhimo also said, "if there are no cafes in Paris, I am afraid it will become nothing cute."

Cafe de Flore, one of the three famous cafes in Paris, opened in 1865, located at 172nd Rue Saint-Germain in the sixth arrondissement of Paris, named because there was a statue of the ancient Roman goddess Flore in front of the door, formerly located in rue St.Benoit, it has been turned into a souvenir shop; now it is a neighbor to the dual Caf é, the two cafes dominate the world and become the duo of the Avenue Saint-Germain Caf é.

Coffee é de Flore is famous for hosting people from cultural and art circles, and Picasso, Sartre, Breton and Trotsky have all had coffee there for more than a century.

Sartre and Simon Bova often appear here, and Sartre liked to write crazily at high speed under the stimulation of coffee. His "existence and nothingness" was written in Huasen Cafe, and even the conscription orders for him after the beginning of World War II were sent to him in Huasen Cafe.

Under the influence of Sartres, Cafe de Flore has become a powerful literary cafe, even with literary scholarships, and reserved special seats for winners on the second floor for a year. There is also a coffee cup engraved with the winner's name on display forever in the cafe.

Huasen Cafe now belongs to the cultural heritage protection unit in Paris. The shield metal plate protected by cultural relics clearly bears the name of Zhou Enlai: ". Politicians such as Trotsky and Zhou Enlai often visit here."
