Lagardère S.A. (French pronunciation: [laɡaʁdɛʁ]) is an international group with operations in over 40 countries. Based in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, the group was founded and created in 1992 by Jean-Luc Lagardère under the name Matra, Hachette & Lagardère.
Headed by Arnaud Lagardère, it is focused around two main divisions: Lagardère Publishing and Lagardère Travel Retail. While its book and e-publishing division (Lagardère Publishing) includes the major imprint Hachette Livre, its Travel Retail (Lagardère Travel Retail) unit includes store retail, largely in airports and railway stations.
