Identity
Following the liberation of Paris in August 1944, Emilien Amaury and fellow members of the resistance movement founded Le Parisien Libéré, which became Le Parisien in 1986. Initially a regional daily newspaper, it became a nationwide publication in 1994 with the creation of Aujourd’hui en France.
Le Parisien has progressively expanded its presence across all media channels.
In addition to a special business and economy supplement each Monday, Le Parisien publishes a weekend section on Friday, as well as a monthly women’s magazine, La Parisienne. The website and mobile applications enable readers to access complete news and an array of services anywhere, at any time.
