Paris' intellectual center moved from the cafés of the left bank of the Seine to those of the right bank. Situated opposite the Comédie-Française, the Procope was an early example of a street café where social classes mixed.[2]
It served as an intellectual meeting place for playwrights, chess players, distinguished actors, writers and philosophers, which cultivated a culture for the French Revolution. Noted patrons during the period included Voltaire, Denis Diderot, Benjamin Franklin, Georges Danton, Jean-Paul Marat and Maximilien de Robespierre.[2][3]
