Le Figaro Magazine is a French language weekly news magazine published in Paris, France. The magazine is the weekly supplement of the daily newspaper Le Figaro.

History and profile[]

The magazine is the first supplement of Le Figaro newspaper.[1] It was established in 1978,[2][3] when Le Figaro Littéraire was renamed as Le Figaro Magazine.[4] Louis Pauwels was functional in its start[5][6] and was appointed its director.[7] His daughter, Marie-Claire Pauwels, worked as fashion director of the magazine from 1980 to 2006.[8]

The magazine is part of the Figaro Group.[9][10] The group also owns the daily newspaper Le Figaro and the magazines Le Particulier and Madame Figaro Magazine.[9][11] Le Figaro Magazine is published by Société du Figaro S.A. on a weekly basis and is sold with Le Figaro on Saturdays.[12]

The headquarters of Le Figaro Magazine is in Paris.[12] It provides articles on news about political events and current affairs.[13] The weekly also features articles concerning art, music and literature.[13] The magazine has a right-wing stance as Le Figaro.[14] One of the concepts the magazine opposes is cosmopolitanism, which refers to non-European immigration to France.[15] The weekly supported the New Right movement in France.[15] Some GRECE members, an ethnonationalist think-tank, sit on the editorial team of the magazine.[16][17] Louis Pauwels, who directed and founded the magazine, was a member of GRECE,[5] and Alain de Benoist, founder of the organization, was also one of the regular contributors.[7] This close connection between the magazine and GRECE continued until 1980.[18] Although the magazine remained loyal to its conservative stance, it began to support for neoliberalism.[18]

 [fr] served as the editor-in-chief of the weekly.[19]
