The "Lost Generation" lived and wrote in Paris, and bought (or more often borrowed) their English-language books from Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company English-language bookshop. You can read all about it in Sylvia Beach's wonderful memoir, Shakespeare and Company (Lincoln and London: University of Nebraska Press, 1956, 1959; reprinted 1980, ISBN 0-8032-6056-3, 230 pages). Originally at 8 rue Dupuytren around the corner from the rue de l'Odéon in the Latin Quarter, the current incarnation of Shakespeare and Company is: Shakespeare and Company
The Abbey Bookshop, in the Latin Quarter, is even more congenial. Brian seems to know how to locate every one of his 30,000 books on the stacked shelves. Abbey Bookshop
