Ramsay is a Frenchpublishing house belonging to theVilo group.[1]
Les Editions Ramsay were founded in 1976 in the form of aSociété à responsabilité limitée by Jean-Pierre Ramsay, who sold them in 1982 toGaumont. They stood out at the end of 1982 with the publication ofLa Bicyclette bleue [fr] (the Blue Bicycle), which soon became abestseller. After a long empty passage and the threat posed to the publishing house by the lawsuit filed for infringement againstRegine Deforges by the rightholders ofGone with the Wind, it was ceded to Éditions Régine Deforges.
Following the filing of bankruptcy and the judicialliquidation of Éditions Régine Deforges in 1992, Editions Ramsay were bought out by Michel Lafon and then in 1998 by the Vilo group.
In 2014, Ramsay publishes a book on PresidentEdgar Faure entitledEdgar Faure, secrets d’État, secrets de famille, written by his grandson, Rodolphe Oppenheimer-Faure and Luc Corlouër, prefaced byJean-Michel Baylet andJean-Louis Borloo.
