SMITH & SON
Go there and contact
Under the arcades of the Rue de Rivoli, we love to stop at Smith & Son to pick up the latest novel that's all the rage across the Channel. From tourist guides to the great classics, here everything can be read in VO! There's something for every taste and theme, on two levels. Fans of English cuisine will love the1st floor, where they can pick up a few books by Jamie Oliver or Nigella Lawson, while film buffs will flock to the Entertainment section, which offers a selection of biographical and cinematographic works. There's also a DVD section where you can catch up on some of Britain's greatest classics at home, or catch up on the new releases you missed at the cinema. Last but not least, this bookshop is an inexhaustible source of information on the British royal family! If you're looking for a Kate&William mug, or a pencil case with Queen Elizabeth II on it? No problem! Other cool, kitschy accessories will complete your panoply of UK-loving froggies. A pretty stationery section, with party cards full of English chic, decorated notepads, moleskin, fancy notebooks, little toys and plush toys will keep you happy. Upstairs, you'll also find a grocery section stocked with British specialties: marmalade, sauces, cookies... Finally, there's a pleasant café area where you can enjoy lunch, brunch or the famous tea time!

There is a wide choice (romanesque youth...) as well as the UK magazines and US.
There is also a fine grocery stand on the first floor
