If you want to find a book in English in Paris, head to the Shakespeare and Company bookshop – which is also where we found journalist-turned-author Elaine Sciolino.

She talks all about her new book The Only Street in Paris, Life on the Rue des Martyrs.

Rue des Martyrs, in northern Paris, is well worth a visit if you're up that way. Our tip: Take in a coffee at KB at the top of the hill (thought it's far too hipster for Elaine, she says).

Find out more about Elaine via her website here, where you can also pick up her book.
