Located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Café de Flore has been the epicentre of Parisian charm and wit since the roaring twenties. With its red seating, mahogany wood, and an onslaught of philosophers, writers, and artists who've debated over cups of coffee that probably deserve their own intellectual property rights, it's more than just a café; it's a cultural institution. If walls could talk, Café de Flore's would probably never stop, recounting tales of existential despair with a side of croissants. Here, the coffee is strong, the ambience stronger, and if you listen closely, you might just solve the meaning of life, or at the very least, decide on what pastry to order.
