Café de Flore

I went for a stroll today, falling in love with this city again.

Wich I could have been here in the 40's.

When Albert Camus, Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir where having coffee at Café de Flore,

discussing love, art and politics. I brought the Figaro magazine issue on Noble prize winner Albert Camus along. Passionate about everything he did and believed in, I wonder if people like that still excist.

I looked around in Café Flore, a young fashionista is reading Vogue magazine,

maybe hoping to see Kate Moss, who's a regular at the Café de Flore now.

My café crême is served in the same cups as the ones Simone de Beauvoir took a sip of while writing for "Les temps modernes"

I look again and see an old man, writing, next to him a lady eating a croissant. 

He looks at me, then at my Figaro magazine with Camus on the cover.

"ah oui les temps ont changés" times have changed.
