{{About|the literary prize|the horse race|Prix de Flore (horse race)}} thumb | right | alt=Café de Flore, Paris | Café de Flore, Paris The '''Prix de Flore''' is a French literary prize founded in 1994 by Frédéric Beigbeder. The aim of the prize is to reward youthful authors and it is judged by a panel of journalists. It is awarded yearly in November,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prix-litteraires.net/prix/137,prix-de-flore.html |title=Prix de Flore |publisher=Prix-litteraires.net |date= |accessdate=2013-08-19}}</ref> at the Café de Flore in Paris. The prize only applies to French-language literature, even though the author does not have to be French. Bruce Benderson was the first non-French author to receive the prize, in 2004, for the novel ''Autobiographie érotique'' (released in English as ''The Romanian: Story of an Obsession''). The laureate of the Prix de Flore wins about 6,000 Euros and is entitled to drink a glass of Pouilly-Fumé, a white wine from the Loire region of France, at the Café de Flore every day for a year. The laureate's name is engraved on the glass.
