Lipp is a brasserie located at 151 Boulevard Saint-Germain in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It sponsors an annual literary prize, the Prix Cazes, named for a previous owner.
History
On 27 October 1880, Léonard Lipp and his wife Pétronille opened the brasserie on the Boulevard Saint-Germain. Of Alsatian origin, Lipp left Alsace when it became part of Germany.
His speciality was a cervelat rémoulade starter, then sauerkraut, served with the finest beers. The brasserie's atmosphere and its modest prices made it a great success. Anti-German sentiment after the First World War led to a change of name to Brasserie des Bords for several years.
In July 1920, the bougnat (Paris immigrant) Marcellin Cazes redesigned the brasserie, which had become frequented by poets such as Paul Verlaine and Guillaume Apollinaire. He decorated it with tiled murales by Léon Fargues, with painted ceilings by Charly Garrey, and purple moleskin seating.
In 1935, Cazes established the Prix Cazes, a literary prize awarded each year to an author who has won no other literary prize.
In 1955, he passed the baton to his son Roger Cazes.
On 29 October 1965, Mehdi Ben Barka, a Moroccan anti-monanarchy politician opposed to King Hassan II, was abducted by the Morocco Secret Service in front of the brasserie, probably with the help of the French. The 'Ben Barka Affair became a political scandal which fundamentally changed France-Morocco relations.
Since 1990, it has been progressively developed by its owners Groupe Bertrand of Auvergne, owner of the Angelina tea house, of fast food chain Bert's and of the Sir Winston pub chain.[1]
