From a weekly newspaper…
Founded in 1943 by World War II France Libre exiles, France-Amérique became in the 1960’s the international weekly edition of Le Figaro, one of France’s largest daily newspapers.
Following its acquisition by Louis Kyle, owner of the publishing company FrancePress, LLC, France-Amérique merged in April 2007 with the Journal Français, America’s monthly French-language journal published since 1978, thus becoming a twice-monthly journal.
In May 2008, France-Amérique will undergo a new revamp with the launch of a monthly edition that offers a substantial increase in content and sophistication, with the introduction of new columns and at least 48 pages in every issue, presented in a magazine-style and more up-to-date format.
… to a monthly magazine
The new monthly magazine will deliver exclusive content, including:
- In-depth news analysis
- Profiles of successful French companies and business leaders in the U.S.
- Coverage of French-American life from coast to coast
- Portraits of French people living in the U.S.
- A look at the French cultural scene
- French film and book reviews
- The best of French cuisine and wines
- Resources to perfect French language skills
- …and much more!
In addition to its regular editorial features, France-Amérique publishes supplements and special sections designed to explore themes of particular interest to its audience, including:
- Education Guide
- Travel Study Guide
- French Restaurants in the U.S. Guide
- Les Clés de l’Amérique: the French Guide to Settling in the U.S.
- Paris, Bastille Day, Fashion, Food & Wine and Holiday special sections.
