Souvenir #6- Cafe de Flore Placemats

"Our best souvenir from France are the simple paper placemats we took from Cafe de Flore, and then had laminated on our return home.  We use them every day, bringing lovely memories of April in Paris."
John E. and Marsha B., NY

The Cafe de Flore, along the famous Boulevard St Germain in Paris, has long been celebrated for its intellectual clientele. The classic Art Deco interior of all red seating, mahogany and mirrors has hardly changed since World War II. Like its main rival, Les Deux Magots, it has hosted most of the French intellectuals during the post-war years.
