The magazine appeared first in 1962.[1] It is part of and published by Editions Mondadori Axel Springer (EMAS), a joint company of the Mondadori France publishing group and Axel Springer France on a monthly basis.[1][2] EMAS acquired the magazine in 2009.[2] The headquarters of the monthly is in Paris.[3]

Jean Lucas and Gérard "Jabby" Crombac were its chief editors from 1962 to 1989. One of its directors was Jose Rosinski who co-founded the magazine.
