A Newspaper Born of the French Resistance
“I wish France-Amérique the best of luck. STOP. I am sure your newspaper will show our American friends the abilities and objectives of France. STOP. In doing so, it will reinforce the friendship between our two countries, which is indispensable to victory and rebuilding the world.”

News of the Liberation
With the city of Paris freed from Nazi control, France-Amérique used the front page of its September 6, 1944 issue to congratulate the architects of the Liberation – De Gaulle, Churchill, Patton – and to personally thank the U.S. Army: “The world breathes a sigh of relief. Thank you to the doughboys!”

A French-American Magazine
Driven by American businessman and passionate Francophile Louis Kyle, France-Amérique got a modern overhaul. The newspaper shifted to a magazine format with glossy paper and unique sections on French gastronomy and art de vivre. Every month, the front cover would showcase a French cultural icon making waves in America, including Marion Cotillard, Isabelle Huppert, Jane Birkin, Agnès Varda, Jean Dujardin, and Daniel Boulud.

France-Amérique, a New Identity
In May 2015, France-Amérique became the first bilingual French-English magazine published in the United States. Directed for a time by French-American essayist Guy Sorman. The magazine offers Francophiles in North America “the best of French culture” and is continuing to develop. The paper quality has improved, photography plays a more central role, and the illustration of the front covers has been handed over to artists Olivier Tallec, Léa Morichon, and most recently Thomas Hayman.
