French Regional Press Facebook Page Ranking: June 2026

Every month, Nonli's social listening measures the video views generated by the Facebook pages of France's regional daily newspapers (the "PQR"). Here is the June 2026 TOP 40.

A fourth consecutive month on top for Le Parisien, which pushes its record further out. And the month's jump comes from the West: Ouest-France nearly triples its views and surges to the foot of the podium.

1. The Month's Top 5#

Le Parisien lifts the series record to 51.8 million views (+31%) from 175 posts. La Dépêche du Midi climbs two spots to 2nd place: 42.7 million (+77%) with a 19.2% ratio. Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace holds 3rd at 26.5 million, on the highest cadence of the top 5 (348 posts).

Ouest-France thus moves from 11th to 4th: 25 million views from only 88 posts, and the quintet's best efficiency (22.8%). La Provence completes the top 5 at 21.8 million.

How to read the "Views per follower" column: 100% means an average post earns as many views as the page has followers. The higher the ratio, the further the account reaches beyond its own community.

3. What Stands Out#

Le Dauphiné Libéré doubles its volume (+103%) and gains seven spots (6th). Le Républicain Lorrain follows in 7th (+76%), and Vosges Matin crosses the 10-million mark (+86%, 12th).

La Presse de la Manche delivers the strongest month in the lower half: views multiplied by nearly 3.5 (31st, nine spots gained) and the best ratio in the ranking, 77.8% of its community in views per post, from 23 posts.

Also worth noting, the strong months of La République du Centre (+133%, 22nd), actu.fr (+86%, 20th) and Le Télégramme (+75%, 27th).

4. Methodology#

The data comes from Nonli's social listening, which continuously tracks the public Facebook pages of the French regional daily press. Only one page per media brand is counted: its main page, without aggregating local or topical pages. The ranking covers views on videos and Reels published between June 1 and 30, 2026, read through the Nonli API. Since views keep accruing after publication, small differences with later readings are normal. Follower counts are those observed when the ranking was generated.

In the same series, previous month: May 2026 ranking.

This ranking is published every month on this blog and on Nonli's LinkedIn page. To track these metrics for your own accounts and your market, get in touch.
