Did you know that the Phrygian cap, a symbol of revolutionaries, was born here—at Le Procope, a café steeped in history?
Located in the heart of Paris, Le Procope is far more than just a café; it’s a place where History came to life! In 1883, students from Lycée Saint-Louis founded Stade Français here, initially as a track-and-field club before turning to rugby, influenced by British students.
But that’s not all! In the 18th century, Le Procope was the stage for the birth of a revolutionary idea: The Encyclopédie by Diderot and d’Alembert—a monumental project that transformed the world of the Enlightenment.
Le Procope is also where brilliant minds like Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin helped change the course of History. Imagine if these walls could talk!
