Café de Flore

A former hangout of artists and intellectuals like Sartre, Camus and Picasso, this café has suffered the inevitable fate of any other establishment that ends up being mentioned in every guidebook: it was practically taken over by tourists. One can hardly blame the managers for increasing their prices (a coffee will set you back about 5€), but at least they persist in keeping the Art Deco décor the way it was.
