Saint-Germain-des-Prés is unlike any other district. Located between the 6th and 7th arrondissements of Paris, it is imbued with a certain architectural classicism with its magnificent Haussmannian buildings and its emblematic lively places that span the centuries, foremost among them, Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore, each with their own literary prize, perpetuating the intellectual tradition of the neighborhood.
The Deux Magots prize, created in 1933, aimed to be a countercurrent to the Goncourt prize, considered too academic. Its first laureate was Raymond Queneau, unknown at the time. Since then, every January, the Deux Magots prize kicks off the literary awards season.
Le Flore, the famous literary café where Guillaume Apollinaire and André Breton liked to meet and whose atypical couple Sartre-Beauvoir made their headquarters, has been hosting the Flore Prize since 1994, which rewards a young talent each year.
At nightfall, the clubs and bars of Saint-Germain-des-Prés invite you to nights with jazzy rhythms that last until the first light of dawn.
