Founded: 1841
Hachette Tourisme is the travel guide leader, thanks to several series that cater to the different kinds of trips people enjoy today. Hachette Tourisme publishes Le Routard, France’s bestselling travel guide series, and routard.com, France’s largest travel guide website. Whether online or in print, Le Routard remains an irreplaceable travel companion. The Guides Bleus, which have been published in France since 1841 (under the title Guides de Voyage Joanne), are still the gold standard in cultural guidebooks; the Un Grand Week-End series includes suggested visits, the best addresses and unique experiences to enjoy on city breaks; the Guides Évasion are for independent travelers; and the Voir guides blend rich editorial content with a wealth of illustrations.
