Ouest-France

Ouest-France is a French daily newspaper that provides news coverage through both print and digital platforms. Its headquarters are located in Rennes, Brittany. The newspaper focuses on regional news from western France, including Brittany, Pays de la Loire, and Normandy. In addition to local reporting, it offers national and international news, sports, culture, and lifestyle sections. Ouest-France publishes various supplements and special editions that cater to specific interests such as agriculture, tourism, and leisure. The organization serves a broad readership comprising residents, businesses, and institutions across its distribution area.

Ouest-France has a substantial readership across western France. Its distinguishing attribute lies in its deep integration with local communities, providing detailed coverage of municipal affairs, regional politics, and cultural events. The newspaper operates a multi‑platform model, maintaining a widely accessed website and mobile applications alongside its traditional print edition. This digital infrastructure allowed Ouest-France to keep its online services operational during a cyberattack on 21 November 2020 that disrupted its print production systems. The attack forced a reduction in the Sunday edition while the digital platform remained unaffected, highlighting the resilience of its online operations. While the prompt does not specify ownership details, the newspaper is known to be part of the Ouest-France group, which oversees its editorial and business activities.
