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 June 16, 2026, Le Figaro published an article, authored by Sevin Rey – Sahin, highlighting Albania as a leading Mediterranean destination for French tourists seeking summer holiday alternatives, alongside Slovenia and Montenegro. Previously, on April 1, 2026, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung told Le Figaro that ties with France should extend beyond partnership to strategic collaboration in areas like artificial intelligence and nuclear energy, according to comments released that Thursday. Earlier, on March 21, 2026, historian Pierre Vermeren appeared on Le Figaro's "Points de vue," where he described relations between France and Algeria as "pathological" while presenting his latest book exploring their complex, tense history. This followed news from March 11, 2026, when the French daily published a list indicating that Moroccan preparatory classes widely dominate the rankings of best foreign preparatory classes for French higher institutes' entrance exams.
