About

A boutique agency for rights exchange between China and the Francophone world.

Based in Paris, Livre Chine has supported editorial exchange, catalogue representation, professional meetings and, increasingly, screen adaptation opportunities since 2016.

Our method is direct: clear rights positioning, editorial selection, qualified introductions and readable project packaging. This showroom acts as a concise entry point; the information-driven site can later host a more frequently updated catalogue.

We work across several uses: rights scouting, fair support, cross-market coordination and the presentation of editorial properties that can travel into translation, audio or screen adaptation.
