LES DEUX MAGOTS

PARIS

 

------------------

 

A Cafe synonymous with

artistic and literary life. Founded in 1812.

 

The Café began to play an important role in Parisian cultural life before asserting its literary vocation in 1933 with the creation of the Prix des Deux Magots.

 

Frequented by many famous artists such as Louis Aragon, André Gide, Jean Giraudoux, Picasso, Fernand Léger, Prévert, Hemingway…, it welcomes the surrealists under the aegis of André Breton and the existentialists around Sartre and Beauvoir.
