Take a café table on Boulevard Saint-Germain and watch the Left Bank move around you.

- boulevard Saint-Germain 172
A place worth knowing
The Café de Flore is a Boulevard Saint-Germain café with a literary identity that extends to its own book prize. The Prix de Flore, founded around one of its tables, is a reminder that the address belongs to publishing life as well as the familiar Paris streetscape.
Come for a café stop or meal within a Left Bank walk, leaving space to sit and watch the boulevard. The restaurant and the annual literary prize are separate experiences; a normal visit does not imply an author event.
