Situated opposite the Comédie-Française, the Procope was an early example of a street café where social classes mixed.[1]
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.[1][2]
At some point during the revolution, Robespierre's allies took over the Procope to discuss a conspiracy to overthrow the Legislative Assembly. In response, the Assassin Council of the Parisian Brotherhood had Arno Dorian eliminate the conspirators.[2]
