Her documentary Les Enfants du 209 rue Saint-Maur, Paris Xe (2018) served as a draft for a novel published in 2020. The film and the book have gained considerable popularity among professionals and readers. A Czech translation of 209 rue Saint-Maur, Paris Xe. Autobiographie d'un immeuble was published by Marathon in 2024 under the title Autobiografie jednoho pařížského domu.
