This is more than a name change—it’s the expression of a shared ambition already in motion: to make our identity clearer, our network stronger, and our international partnerships more effective.

France Livre brings together nearly 350 French publishing houses, from major groups to independent and specialist presses. It offers international professionals a structured, reliable gateway to French publishing—through editorial fellowships, hybrid B2B formats, the Paris Book Market, and targeted Francophone initiatives.

In a sector undergoing profound change—economic pressure, technological innovation, and evolving reader habits—France Livre affirms its mission: to promote the visibility of French publishing, facilitate rights exchange, and support long-term partnerships across borders.

Chosen for its clarity and international reach, the name France Livre – The French Publishing Network is paired with a visual identity, created by Line Celo, that captures the essence of our mission: circulating ideas, connecting professionals, and sharing expertise.

France Livre is built with and for publishers, and supported by key public institutions including the Centre national du livre, the Institut français, and the French Ministries of Culture and Foreign Affairs.

It is a collective tool. A common resource. A space for building lasting and constructive international relationships.
