Existential Paris
I'm going to the Flore and Les Deux Magots, but what else is there to see associated with writers such as Sartre and de Beauvoir? Is there a book or a tour for this?

I love the bar at Closeries des Lilas with the brass nameplates in the booths of the "regulars".
Also, L'Hotel, Oscar Wilde's last home. Great cocktail lounge and amazing circular staircase.

I love the Flore and have a long-time...20-plus year tradition of going there and having a kir royal...casis and champagne. I like to go at night. And now that there's no smoking, for the first time in over 30 years of going to Paris and 20-plus of going to the Flore, I could sit inside of the place. No more sitting out in the cold, drinking my kir or having a meal.
A French friend and I went in at around 11PM...the Thursday before Easter Sunday...and by midnight it was packed and a buzz. Happy Travels!

I forgot to add that the Flore has a gift shop on the side street to it...rue Benoit. I've collected several Flore items throughout the decades...plates,glasses,etc...
I've never been next door to the Deux Magots...kind of strange I guess. Smiles. Happy Travels!
