Just up the Boulevard Saint-Germain from its rival, Les Deux Magots, is Café de Flore, the Left Bank’s other iconic café. One of the Lost Generation’s regular meeting spots, the café and its art deco interior is the kind of space that inspires legends and books—and it’s featured in both. However, the writer class that made the café famous probably couldn’t afford more than a few modest glasses of red today, as bottles now go for upwards of 600€ on their Vins de Prestige list.
