 Bonjour Paris : Travel, Hotels, Food, Wine, Restaurants, Paris France - Two Cafés near Saint Germain des Prés
The Café de Flore was popular with artists from the First World War, when it was the hang-out of Apollinaire and Breton, but it’s most famous for its existentialists, including Simone de Beauvoir and John-Paul Sartre, who all but slept in here during World War II.
Les Deux Magots, named for the two Chinese wooden statues that hang inside, is today a bustling café with a mix of locals and tourists.
The waiters, like the waiters at the Café de Flore, are dressed in traditional fl and white uniforms, though the ones at Les Deux Magots wear long sleeved, fl jackets, while the ones at the Flore wear white shirts with fl vests.

 A Transatlantic Love Affair
Simone de Beauvoir's letters to Nelson Algren, written in English, were acquired by Ohio State University, at a public sale; she kept those Algren wrote to her.
This chronicle of a "transatlantic love affair" is unique among the prolific correspondence that Simone de Beauvoir conducted throughout her life, for it involved, for once, someone from a wholly different orbit.
The unanticipated arrival of this boor, this alien being, into her universe in 1947 forced Simone de Beauvoir to re-examine all that usually "went without saying": the obvious, the assumptions, the things taken for granted, the familiar realities of the world she shared with her old friends.

 WRITER OF O
The book, awarded the Prix des Deux Magots in 1955, became a succès de scandale, its pseudonymous author the subject of much speculation and gossip in the tight-knit world of French belles lettres.
The technique, perhaps intended to suggest the terror and ecstasy of self-abnegation, is startling and silly at once, although the subject matter admittedly lends itself to rococo flourishes.
Pauline Réage was the nom de plume of Dominique Aury, but Dominique Aury was a pseudonym as well, adopted by the author for her essays and other occasional writings.
