Under the arcades of the Théâtre de l'Odéon, young Ernest Flammarion ran a bookshop, located right opposite the Grand Café-Restaurant Voltaire, which at the time was an important political and literary meeting place. It was in the heart of this district frequented by intellectuals that Ernest Flammarion decided to expand his business by publishing books.
Over the years, Flammarion specialised in literature, publishing a wide range of classical, modern and popular authors. In the first half of the 20th century, its catalogue opened up to other fields, such as history, philosophy, art books, children's books, practical books, current affairs books, medical books and popular science books.
Since its creation in 1875, the company has always been committed to pursue the ambition of its founder: "To offer the best content to the greatest number of people".
