Albin Michel is a French book and periodical publisher founded in 1900 and based in Paris, Île-de-France. It operates as a generalist house, releasing about 500 titles each year across genres such as literature (French and foreign), essays, humanities, psychology, spirituality, practical books, beaux-arts, youth, and licensed works. The group includes several subsidiary imprints, notably Magnard-Vuibert, Casteilla, and Delagrave, and is led by Francis Esménard, a descendant of the founder. It has actively expanded digital access, making a large portion of its catalog—more than 2,000 titles including new releases—available in digital format. This shift reflects the publisher's adaptation to changing reader access while serving a broad audience of readers across its diverse genres.
