who are we

COTE Editions

After establishing themselves on the Côte d'Azur, Claude Henri Menu and Kan Sperber decided to launch their own publication, a new concept of art and lifestyle magazine with a strong editorial line, highlighting the region and its players aimed at a readership with high purchasing power.

In 1987, COTE magazine, associated with the Façonnable group, was launched, marking the birth of the press group

COTE Editions.

 

It quickly became the undisputed reference in terms of art and lifestyle on the Côte d'Azur.

An independent, family-run business, Les Éditions COTE has evolved over the years, successfully integrating digital and events, while remaining true to its identity and values.

 

In 2017, the succession was assured with the arrival of Marie Menu as General Manager within the teams.

With 37 years of passion and creativity behind it, the history of Éditions COTE is marked by key moments, iconic editions, and a loyal and dynamic team, many of whom have been with us for over 10 years. Benjamin, Brigitte, Catherine, Claude-Henri, Eva, Kan, Karine, Lou, Melissa, Nathalie, and Philippe.

Our latest initiative is the creation of a Monegasque edition of COTE and a Monegasque press company, COTE Monte-Carlo, managed by Hala Menu.
