Éditions France-Empire
France-Empire is an independent French publishing house, created in 1945 by Yvon Chotard.
History
In 1945, from the end of the Second World War, the Éditions France-Empire began their activity by publishing works concerning the period 1939-1945 then the period of decolonization. The publishing house was created from the funds of the Sève et Morat. In the 1960s and 1970s, France-Empire was influenced notably by the success of the series of Christian Bernadac devoted to deportation in the Holocaust, which was by far the biggest seller of editions at that time.[1]
The Éditions France-Empire then pursued this path by including in their catalog essays, novels, biographies and memoirs in the historical domain. The company belongs to the group Desquenne et Giral (euronext) since 1990.
