FRANCE-ANTILLES / FRANCE-GUYANE

What FRANCE-ANTILLES / FRANCE-GUYANE does

PRESSE ANTILLES GUYANE SAS, operating commercially as France-Antilles and France-Guyane, is a regional French press group headquartered in Fort-de-France, Martinique, with 166 employees. The company publishes the only daily print newspaper authorized across the French Antilles-Guyane region under three separate CPPAP registrations covering Guadeloupe (0226 C 86993), Martinique (0226 C 86994), and French Guiana (0226 C 86995), and operates parallel digital editions registered under ISSN 0994-3814 (print) and 2425-231X (digital). It serves a combined addressable population of approximately one million residents across the three overseas territories, plus diaspora readers in mainland France, through a multi-channel subscription and advertising model. Editorial leadership comprises Anthony Maarek as Director of Publication and Béatrice Cleon as Director General, with separate regional editorial teams in each territory.

The company's product portfolio spans a Monday-Friday print daily, a digital news platform, iOS and Android mobile applications, France-Antilles Radio (branded "La Radio 100% Caraïbes"), podcasts, a "Hexagone" edition aimed at mainland France-based Antilles-Guyane diaspora readers, and an e-commerce boutique offering special editions priced €2.80-€4.50. Revenue is generated through subscription fees (Integral bundled print+digital at €25.90/month or €299/year; Pro 3 départements digital at €19.90/month or €239/year; 24-hour digital pass at €1.70), advertising, regulated legal notice publications, radio broadcasting, special editions, and ancillary commercial activities including event sponsorship and the hosting partnership with SdV Plurimédia. The group is controlled by NJJ FA Holding, an entity linked to Xavier Niel's NJJ Capital, and maintains RSS feeds across all three territorial editions, GDPR-compliant data practices, and editorial archives dating to 2008.

Distribution is structured around a print network spanning the three overseas territories, complemented by app stores and a web platform, with distinct subscription tiers targeting consumer readers, professional/institutional readers, and casual 24-hour visitors. The business model combines consumer subscription (the primary direct-revenue stream), advertising across print and radio, and public-sector legal notice revenue, producing a diversified but locally anchored revenue mix tied to the economic cycles of three small island and coastal economies.
