Caradisiac is a French language automotive website belonging to the French company Car & Boat Media.

History

[edit]

Caradisiac was launched in July 2000 by Cédric Bannel. In March 2001, the site got closer to Procar.[1] In February 2002, Caradisiac joined the Auto Forum and launched thematic channels two years later. In September 2005, Caradisiac was acquired by Spir Communication. In 2007, Caradisiac merged with LaCentrale[2] to create Car & Boat Media.

In 2010, Spir Communication once again became a 100% shareholder of Car & Boat Media (Caradisiac.com, lacentrale.fr).[3] In 2014, Axel Springer SE takes control of Car & Boat Media by buying back 51% of the shares for 72 million euros.[4][5][6]
