Le Quotidien Luxembourg

What Le Quotidien Luxembourg does

Le Quotidien is an independent French-language daily newspaper serving Luxembourg and the Greater Region (Grande Région). Founded in 2001 and operating under the legal entity Lumedia S.A., the company is headquartered at 7, avenue du Rock'n'Roll in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, with a lean staff of 19 employees. It operates as part of the Editpress Luxembourg media group alongside sister publications Tageblatt, Revue, and Le Républicain Lorrain, sharing infrastructure and editorial resources while maintaining editorial independence. Coverage spans Luxembourg national affairs, cross-border Greater Region news (Lorraine, Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate, Wallonia), international news, politics, economy, sports (including BGL Ligue football and international competitions), culture, and society.

The publishing platform is built on a WordPress CMS with a custom 'lequotidien-wp-theme', complemented by a dedicated E-Paper application for digital newspaper reading and native mobile applications for iOS and Android. Stripe handles secure payment processing under full GDPR/RGPD compliance, and the architecture supports both direct webshop subscription management and outsourced customer service via Ebos Luxembourg S.A. A sub-brand, Memento.lu, operates a death-notice service in partnership with VRS Media GmbH.

Le Quotidien monetizes primarily through a tiered recurring subscription model: E-Paper digital access at €19.90/month or €199/year, an 'Integral' print-plus-digital bundle at €42/month or €395/year, a weekend 'Combi' bundle at €32.90/month, a €2 Daypass for 24-hour access, and free unlimited Student Access. Secondary revenue streams include display and classified advertising across print and digital, plus obituary-related revenue via Memento.lu. Distribution combines print home delivery (weekday and Saturday editions by 6 AM) within Luxembourg with international shipping, alongside digital access through the website, E-Paper app, and mobile applications. The customer base is geographically distributed across Luxembourg residents, cross-border workers (frontaliers) commuting from France, Belgium, and Germany, and registered students.
