Café de Flore

Why take a photo here?
One of the most iconic cafés in Paris, Café de Flore is pure Left Bank elegance. Its green awnings, red chairs, and flower-covered terrace have made it an Instagram favorite for decades. What makes it truly iconic is its history — for over a century, it has been the meeting place of writers, artists, and fashion icons, from Picasso to Karl Lagerfeld. A timeless backdrop for that “classic Parisian moment.”

Best time to shoot:
Late morning or golden hour in the evening, when the terrace glows with natural light.

Pro tip:
For the full effect, step across Boulevard Saint-Germain to frame the café’s façade with people sipping coffee outside. A shot with a coffee cup in hand works perfectly for lifestyle-style photos.
