MEDIA PACK 2015
‘‘
There’s no doubt that the love affair with France shows no sign of abating, and FRANCE Magazine is the essential read for every Francophile. From inspirational travel features to culture and lifestyle topics, each issue highlights the very best of France and includes listings for French events in the UK as French cookery and language.
We are a trusted partner for many businesses wishing to reach a very targeted and receptive Francophile audience, and regular advertisers include Eurotunnel, TV5 Monde, Lagrange Holidays and many of the French tourist boards.
FRANCE Magazine is a must-have for inclusion in our annual ad spend; quality articles, good rates and good relations with the magazine team mean we are a long term and regular advertiser and will remain that way for the future. Sarah Holder, TV5 Monde UK
� Britain and North America’s best-selling magazine about France
� Published bi-monthly in the US
� Published monthly in the UK and distributed in Australia
� Truly international brand
� A comprehensive and compelling guide to France
This year is an exciting year for FRANCE Magazine, not only are we celebrating our 25th anniversary but our May issue will be our 200th edition. Our longevity, and the loyalty of our readers – many of whom have stayed with the magazine
since its inception - shows what a great publication we create each month. Late in 2014 we gave the magazine a complete makeover, with a fresh new design and layout and a host of fantastic new features and sections. I am delighted to have welcomed Terry Wogan as a columnist, and his wonderful bi-monthly articles are a witty insight into south-west France, where he has had a
holiday home for 20 years. We have also been joined by award-winning food writer Clotilde Dusoulier, who writes a regular piece in our comprehensive food and wine section. Our award-winning travel writers are constantly on the hunt for the best experiences from all over l’Hexagone, to make sure our readers get the in-depth knowledge they need to make their three, four or five annual trips to France successful. All this, along with our top celebrity interviews and culture and language section, make FRANCE Magazine the must-have title for anyone who loves la Belle France.
