Les Échos was founded in 1908 by brothers Émile and Robert Servan-Schreiber, initially named Les Échos de l’Exportation to promote their family’s hardware export business. The newspaper covers French and international economic and financial news, stock market analysis, and trends in high-tech development, with sections including “Ideas” and “Debates” that provide platforms for commentary and discussion. It began as a monthly publication, was renamed Les Échos in 1928, becoming a daily newspaper. The family-led luxury products group LVMH Group currently owns the paper, which maintains both print and digital editions.
