L'Illustré is a French language weekly consumer magazine published in Lausanne, Switzerland. It is one of the earliest magazines published in the country.

History and profile

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 the magazine 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 is published on a weekly basis by L'illustré publishing.[3] Michel Jeanneret is 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]

L'Illustré is a popular magazine, and covers both celebrity portraits and ideas for the families.[3][5] In April 2010 the magazine was redesigned.[6] Its coverage expanded to include sections about travel, fashion, beauty, wellness and food in addition to those on celebrities, current events, cars and decoration among the others.[6]
