As a French person I can confirm it ahahaha every magazine in France is a shame, they love to produce bad covers, boring editorials, nothing stands out I mean come on: look at what MESS French GQ is producing for yearsssss now and Vanity Fair, Marie Claire and all keep doing the same thing. I would say though that French ELLE is the only magazine that is very pleasing visually, their castings are always updated, covers are cool, contents inside are great, I have many girl friends who buy it and they prefer it over Vogue Paris. Personally I've been living in Madrid, Spain for 11 years but everytime I go back to France for holidays and so on I am so so so disappointed and during the year my friends show me what they see at the newsstands and it's awful ahaha.
