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 March 21, 2026, Le Figaro aired an appearance by historian Pierre Vermeren on "Points de vue," during which he described relations between France and Algeria as "pathological" while presenting his latest book, which revisits their long and tense history. Previously, on March 11, Le Figaro published a list showing Moroccan preparatory classes widely dominating the rankings of best foreign preparatory classes for French higher institutes' entrance exams. Earlier, on February 11, the French media group, which publishes France's leading daily, detailed its challenge in tailoring TV listings and related articles for 35 regional newspapers, a task noted as highly labor-intensive. This followed Le Figaro's report on January 26 that the French National Assembly backed a bill to prohibit children and teenagers under 15 from using social networks, with 130 deputies supporting the measure. On the same day, Le Figaro partnered with ESME to organize a roundtable discussion on the profound mutations of contemporary finance, coinciding with ESME's 120th anniversary.
