Poumelin's Cafe Magots and Cafe Flore in Paris

Fresh art by French artiist Poumelin have arrived at the Westport River Gallery. Both are 32x32 Like its neighbour Le Flore, the Café des Deux Magots has raised its ranks to become a Parisian legend. Situated directly on Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés, it offers an unrestricted view of one of the oldest religious buildings in the capital, the Abbaye de Saint-Germain. Since its creation in 1885, the brasserie has welcomed major artists: Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, André Breton and Simone de Beauvoir. Today, intellectuals, national and international celebrities mingle with tourists in a traditional ambiance and decor (waiters in black and white, red seats, mahogany tables, etc.). The inventor of the concept of a literary cafe, the Café des Deux Magots opens the literary award season every year with the Prix des deux Magots.
