The museum is full of flowers and green; comfortable benches, mirror walls and mahogany walls give customers a warm and soft picture. The second floor is decorated in English style, simple and quiet, and it is a good place to think alone. The restaurant's signature coffee (Cafe Express Flore) exudes an attractive aroma of almonds, and the shop is often full of guests.

The double-even Cafe, which was once dominated by repeat customers such as poets and writers, gets its name because of its beams and pillars inlaid with two puppets, opposite to the church of St. Germain de Pryor, the first ancestor of modern science, buried in the coffin of Descartes, a famous French philosopher, mathematician and physicist. The design of the twins was favored by the literati at that time, and they were happy to come here to write and talk, and the reputation of the cafe was enhanced.
