The deal is the latest step in a strategy to increase visibility of the expanding Archant Life France title, which has seen retail sales increase to around 5,000 already this year from a standing start at the beginning of the year.

As well as Tesco, French Property News is also listed in WH Smith and Marks and Spencer. It has become the second best selling holiday sector magazine in WH Smith in less than eight months. With these three distribution deals in place, Archant Life France predicts retail sales of French Property News will increase to 6,000. It also sells 12,000 copies on subscription and distributes 33,000 requested copies.

Miller Hogg, managing director of Archant Life France, said: “The deal with Tesco is a big step forward for French Property News. This, combined with our listings in WH Smith and Marks and Spencer, gives us the one of best retail visibility in the market. We look forward to our next listing in retail supermarket Sainsbury’s and Waitrose where we think our magazine’s brand would sit very well”

French Property News is part of the same Archant Life stable as France magazine and Living France, both of which are showing significant year on year growth in sales. Living France is the top selling holiday sector magazine in retail.
