Le Procope
The Café Procope (French pronunciation: [kafe pʁokɔp]), also known as Le Procope ([lə pʁokɔp]), on the Rue de l'Ancienne Comédie, is a café in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. The original café was opened in 1686 by the Sicilian chef Procopio Cutò; it became a hub of the Parisian artistic and literary community in 18th and 19th centuries. It sometimes is erroneously called the oldest café in the world in continuous operation; however, the original café closed in 1872 and the space was used in various ways before 1957, when the current incarnation (not a café but a restaurant) was opened, so the claim of "oldest café in continuous operation" is not supported.
