L'Illustré was first published in Romandie on 10 September 1921.[1][2] The magazine was printed and published in Zofingen. During its initial phase, it covered French translations of the articles published in the Swiss German magazine SIZ.[2] Over time it had its own editorial profile, leaving its German focus.[2]
L'Illustré is part of the Ringier AG and is based in Lausanne.[1][3] The magazine was published on a weekly basis by L'illustré publishing.[3] As of 2012 Michel Jeanneret was the editor-in-chief.[3] In December 2014 Ringier AG and Axel Springer SE reported that they would establish a new joint venture under the name of Ringier Axel Springer Medien Schweiz and that L'Illustré would be part of this company among the other publications.[4] The partnership of the companies ended in late 2020, and Ringier took over Axel Springer's stake.[5] Following the transaction the Ringier Médias Suisse (French: Ringier Media Switzerland) became the publisher of L'Illustré.[5][6]
L'Illustré is a popular magazine, and covers both celebrity portraits and ideas for the families.[3][7] In the 1970s it included a section on radio and television programs which led to increase in its circulation figures.[8] In April 2010, for its 90th anniversary, the magazine was given a special edition.[9] The same was done for its 100 year anniversary in 2021.[10] It also launched a three week exhibition.[11]
The weekly TV magazine TV8 was merged into L'Illustré in April 2023.[12][13] The editor-in-chief of L'Illustré was Stéphane Benoit-Godet between 2020 and January 2023. He was succeeded by Laurence Desbordes in the post.[12]
Between July 2004 and June 2005 L'Illustré sold 108,798 copies.[14] The circulation of the magazine was 106,144 copies between July 2005 and June 2006 and 104,279 copies between July 2006 and June 2007.[14] Its circulation became 99,547 copies between July 2007 and June 2008.[14] L'Illustré sold 76,697 copies in 2014, and its readership was 338,000 in the second half of 2014.[3]
