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.
