ÃÂditions Robert Laffont () is a book publishing company in France founded in 1941 by Robert Laffont (1916âÂÂ2010). Its publications are distributed in almost all francophone countries, but mainly in France, Canada and in Belgium.
Imprints belonging to ÃÂditions Robert Laffont include éditions Julliard, les Seghers, Foreign Rights and NiL ÃÂditions. In 1990, ÃÂditions Robert Laffont was acquired by the French publishing group Groupe de La Cité. It is now part of Editis.
ÃÂditions Robert Laffont published the Quid encyclopedia from 1975 to 2007 but its 2008 edition was not published after annual sales had fallen from a high of 400,000 to less than 100,000, apparently because of competition from online information sources such as Wikipedia.
