History
Éditions Julliard was soon repurchased by the publishing house Presses de la Cité. Christian Bourgois created his own publishing house in 1966.
In 1953, André Frank and Jean-Louis Barrault created the review of the Renaud-Barrault books (Les Cahiers Renaud-Barrault), published at Éditions Julliard until Julliard's death, then at Éditions Gallimard.
Éditions Julliard was revived in 1988, when Christian Bourgois decided to appoint Élisabeth Gille as literary director. They sought out and published new talents, such as Lydie Salvayre and Régine Detambel, but also the great names of Éditions Julliard history, like Françoise Sagan.
Christian Bourgois and Élisabeth Gille left the publishing house at the beginning of 1992, following internal disagreements with the Presses de la Cité. François Bourin was managing director from 1992-1995.
Betty Mialet and Bernard Barrault have acted as managing directors of Éditions Julliard since 1995.
