The café opened in 1885. It is named after a sculpture of Flora, located on the other side of the boulevard. Writers Joris-Karl Huysmans and Remy de Gourmont were among its first regulars. In 1917, the word “surrealist” was born there from a conversation between Andre Breton and Louis Aragon. Georges Bataille, Robert Desnos, Léon-Paul Fargue, Raymond Queneau were all regulars, and so was Pablo Picasso. Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai was known to be a frequent patron of Café de Flore during his years in France in the 1920s. The classic Art Deco interior of all red seating, mahogany and mirrors has changed little since World War II.
