Alexandre Hatier Group

Les Éditions Hatier, founded by Alexandre Hatier, published the first Bescherelle in 1913, which has since become a reference work in the field of conjugation.
Over the years, the collection has expanded to include foreign languages. Most recently, French history, philosophy, the modern world and religion have come into the fold. Hatier is now one of the top French publishers of educational books, covering every discipline, for use from preschool to high school.
The publisher is expanding its collections of digital works with material such as apps, ebooks, interactive textbooks, websites and databases. It is also a leader in the extracurricular market with the Annabac, Tout Savoir, Chouette and Prépabac collections. Its mobile apps, such as Annabac and Mon Coach Bescherelle, have emerged as a major digital resource. Hatier is now turning its attention to parents as well as teachers and children, with a new collection of books on parenting.

Hatier Jeunesse focuses on three key areas: fiction, early learning and activities, drawing on its educational expertise and the favorite subjects of its young readers. Its Montessori range featuring the character Balthazar has been extremely successful.

With unique expertise in the foreign language segment (including its role as the publisher of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), Didier is also known for its math textbooks and for its innovative and comprehensive digital offerings.
