Le Parisien Week-end, which is named Aujourd'hui-en-France Week-end outside Paris, is a weekly supplement sold on Fridays with the newspaper Le Parisien (or with the newspaper Aujourd'hui-en-France outside Paris) since September 2012. Distributed weekly to approximately 420,000 copies,[1] this magazine is published by the company LPM, a subsidiary of Parisien.
Before its name change in 2017, it was titled Le Parisien Magazine or Aujourd'hui-en-France Magazine outside Paris.[2]
The magazine was created by Jean Hornain, who then asked Frédéric Allary,[3] former managing director of the cultural weekly Les Inrockuptibles, to create its title.
The magazine aims to be "surprising, respecting our values of rigor, balance, and objectivity," according to Thierry Borsa, then director of editorial content,[4] who was interviewed at the time of the magazine's creation.
The hundred page magazine initially consisted of three sections. The first, titled "Week-end," covered culture, travel, and gastronomy. The second, known as "Grand angle," focused on in-depth subjects: economy, international affairs, society, etc. The third and final section, "Plaisirs," was more consumer-oriented: fashion, beauty, high-tech, etc.
