Le Figaro, a privately owned company headquartered in France, was founded in 1826 and has approximately 1320 employees. Its main product is newspaper publishing, and it functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company is recognized as the oldest national newspaper in France.
On February 11, 2026, a case study highlighted a past operational challenge for Le Figaro, which publishes France's leading daily and supplies TV listings and articles to 35 regional newspapers. The study detailed how tailoring these listings and articles to various customer publication formats was a highly labor-intensive task requiring substantial time and resources. Previously, on January 26, 2026, Le Figaro reported that the French National Assembly supported a bill prohibiting social media use for children under 15, with 130 deputies voting in favor and 21 against. Earlier the same day, Le Figaro partnered with ESME to organize a roundtable discussion on the profound mutations of contemporary finance, marking ESME's 120th anniversary.
