“France” is an old confectionery and coffee shop in the heart of Tehran. Because of the proximity to universities and book stores on Enqelab street, this place has always been a well-known coffee shop for students, intellectuals, artists, and even casual passersby. They often stop there for a moment and enjoy a cup of coffee with a fresh pastry. For decades since the opening of France Confectionery in 1965, it has always been at the center of different cultural and political events in Enqelab street. From the arrival of Neil Armstrong and his crew to Tehran to the 1979 revolution, and to the recent demonstrations in 2008 and 2019 protests, the history of France Confectionery has been merged with the bitter and sweet memories of Tehran.
