Fayard (complete name: Librairie Arthème Fayard) is a French Paris-based publishing house established in 1857. Fayard is controlled by Hachette Livre.
In 1999, Éditions Pauvert became part of Fayard. Claude Durand was director of Fayard from 1980 until his retirement in 2009.[1] He was replaced by Olivier Nora, previously head of Éditions Grasset & Fasquelle[2] another division of the Hachette group.
