How hard is it to cancel Le Figaro?

Le Figaro's CGV (Article 7) provide no in-account self-serve cancellation: digital subscriptions must be cancelled by phone (01 70 37 31 70, at least 3 business days before the monthly term) or by email ([email protected], at least 7 business days before), and paper plans by letter to Chantilly or email to [email protected]; an online contact form exists at faq.lefigaro.fr but is not a one-click cancel. Open-ended ('duree libre') plans renew continuously until cancelled within the required notice window, while fixed-term paper plans stop at term if the renewal letters go unanswered. The 14-day droit de retractation under article L.121-21 is explicitly disclosed (Article 9), though subscribers authorise immediate execution while retaining the withdrawal right, and it does not apply to single-issue purchases; out-of-withdrawal cancellations incur handling fees (5-10 euros) and fixed-term early exit is allowed only for blindness or long hospitalization with a pro-rata refund minus 30 euros. Refunds are processed within 30 days. The official CGV text obtained is dated September 2022.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
