Le Procope

In *Bohemian Paris of To-day*, W. C. Morrow calls Procope "probably the most famous café in Paris" and describes it as a rendezvous of "littérateurs, politicians, and savants." He presents it as a quiet refuge where writers can work under the shadow of earlier greatness. ([gutenberg.org](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/50495/pg50495-images.html)) That is Procope's distinctive literary function: not boulevard spectacle, but intellectual lineage. Authors invoke it when they want Paris to signify inheritance, authorship, and the continuity of literary ambition. This interpretive point is inferred from Morrow's description and the site's documented history. ([gutenberg.org](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/50495/pg50495-images.html))
