The destination of Parisians in Flower God Coffee

If one day I go to New York, one of the most important questions is, Where is The Caf é de Flore?

The rain in Paris fell like a soothing tune in the air, sitting on the street at 176 St. Germain Street, with hot chocolate and a cup of coffee on the silver tray in front of them. the wet air was filled with the most familiar smell, and the male photographers and female models at the next table were discussing their future lives. The fashion girl from New York graciously invited the man around her to Manhattan, but the charming man said, "I think if I go to New York one day, one of the most important questions is, Where is The Caf é de Flore?" One sentence expresses the voice of the Parisians.

The spirit of liberalism on the left bank, which is what people pursue.

In Paris, almost every century-old cafe has its own legend, because the cafe is the epitome or source of Parisian culture, but there is no doubt that Huasen Coffee is the most famous and influential of all cafes, not only in Paris, but perhaps in the world. Its influence lies not only in the love between Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beaufort, not only in the talents of Picasso and Albert Camus, but more often in the spirit of left bank liberalism represented by Flower God Coffee, which is what people pursue.

There are already full seats from inside to outside.

Almost all Parisians have encountered a similar situation and habitually make an appointment with their friends at the Flower God Cafe, but when they get to the corner of the Rue Saint-Germain, they find that they are already full from inside to outside. At this time, two people will look at each other and smile, and one of them will ask, "Why don't we go to Gemini or Armani coffee?" They are just across the street, while his companion will open his hand and smile and respond, "I don't know, I don't know, why we never go."

Chocolate is always warm on the stove

What's so special about Huasen Cafe? Why do Parisians have a passion for Flower God Coffee? One of the most common theories comes from the warm complex of World War II, when Paul Babur became the new owner of Huasheng Coffee in 1939, and then he installed a huge charcoal-burning stove in the inner hall of the cafe. Under the background of the German invasion of Paris, the fallen Parisians were in short supply and panic, while the crackling flame of Huasen Coffee lit up a glimmer of hope of victory. More and more anti-fascists and writers began to gather in front of the huge charcoal stove, and the ever-warm chocolate on the stove became a kind of symbolic symbol. of course, this World War II complex is only one scene in the legend of Flower God Coffee.

"lovers of Flower God Cafe."

Back in real Paris, the rain kept falling, gently tapping on the transparent awning overhead. Across the road, two old gentlemen were walking in the rain, one in a purple suit and one in an iconic gray patch suit. Scarves were standard for Parisian men, who greeted their old friends enthusiastically in front of the cafe, saying, "Sorry, I'm late" is their greeting. And from the way they order, it is not difficult to see that if you can easily talk to the waiter and call out the other person's name, he must be a regular customer of Flower God Coffee, like Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Bova.

"Sartre's Office" is another legendary name of Flower God Cafe. In the 1940s, Sartre and Beaufort came to the Flower God Cafe every day for nearly four years, or wrote at a desk or talked with friends together, and they sat at the same table every day and ordered the most famous Omlete and hot chocolate. As Sartre himself said, "I have walked the road of Flower God for four years." It's a road to freedom. As for the relationship between Sartre and Beaufort, interested friends can go to see a French movie called "lovers of Flower God Cafe".

A driver sat quietly in the Mercedes-Benz. About half an hour later, his boss came out of Huasheng Coffee with satisfaction. The German car, which is not on the left bank, disappeared at the end of the road with a roar. Soon a SMART occupied the vacant parking space. The driver was a lady with silver hair. This was a picture of Paris, sometimes looking for the answer to what Paris is. In fact, there is no need to go to the unpopular iron tower or the magnificent Louvre. In fact, just like this, you can find the answer when you come to the Flower God Cafe on a rainy afternoon.
