Éditions Philippe Amaury
also known as Groupe EPA or the Amaury Group, a French media group
Éditions Philippe Amaury (EPA), also known as Groupe EPA or the Groupe Amaury, is a French private media group founded by Philippe Amaury (1940–2006) whose widow, Marie-Odile Amaury, owns a majority of the company. The CEO of the company is Aurore Amaury, daughter of Philippe and Marie-Odile Amaury.
In partnership with SNC L'Équipe, the group publishes the sports journals l'Équipe, l'Équipe Magazine, France Football and Vélo Magazine. EPA owns the television channel l'Équipe 21, which airs French and international sports competitions like road cycling, rally, motocross, basketball, ice hockey, volleyball, judo, biathlon and the European Games. In 1998, the group launched the L'Équipe television channel as an extension to the newspaper L'Équipe.
Its wholly owned subsidiary, Amaury Sport Organisation, is one of the largest promoters of sports events in France, including the Tour de France and Paris–Roubaix bicycle races, the Paris–Dakar Rally, the Paris Marathon and the Open de France golf tournament; as well as 250 days of competition per year, with 90 events in 30 countries.
EPA formerly owned le Parisien, a local newspaper in greater Paris, as well as its national edition, Aujourd'hui en France. LVMH acquired the papers in 2015.

Why this record matters
The phrase “also known as Groupe EPA or the Amaury Group, a French media group” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3117319. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1940, 2006, 1998 and 2015.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
