The magazine is difficult to classify, as it is considered atypical.[1] The motto, printed on the cover of each issue in both French and English, is "A magazine of unfolding horizons for those who give themselves time." The Revue is described on the official website as a "magazine like a book and a book like a magazine."[6] The Revue broadly emphasizes traveling as exploration and curiosity.[1][2] Content includes poetry, essays, interviews and profiles on travel and emerging trends and innovations from unconventional angles.[1][2]
Team
Besides its long-form articles and interviews, printed on thick white cardstock paper, the Revue Passager emphasizes photography and art. Art direction is overseen by graphic designer Funny Bones.[1][2]
The translation team includes Alexandra Keens, Alice Marchand, Frédéric Joly, Cécile Chartres, Jessica Volz, and Catherine Ianco.
Editorial content is handled by Fanny LeBorgne and Cécile Chartres.
The magazine features various writers, authors, photographers, illustrators and poets in each issue. These contributors include François Simon, the French journalist Natacha Wolinski,[2] artist Rose Schlossberg (daughter of Caroline Kennedy), Princess Alexandra of Hanover (daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco), and the photographer Felix Dol Maillot.[1][7] Schlossberg knew Revier from collaborating previously at Air France magazine.[1][2]
Distribution
The Revue is distributed as a book (with an ISBN) by Actes Sud.[1][2] Groupe Flammarion handles the distribution to bookstores and libraries in France.[8] Union Distribution handles distribution in the European Union.
Based in Paris, France, the Revue is distributed throughout France, Belgium, Monaco, Saint Gilles les Bains, French Guiana, Australia, New York City, London, Gstaad, and Venice.
