How to read the "Views per follower" column: 100% means an average post earns as many views as the page has followers. It's a good proxy for an account's ability to reach beyond its own community.

3. What Stands Out#

Compared with October 2025, Courrier Picard posts the biggest climb in the table: 13 places gained, from 37th to 24th. jhm, absent the previous month, enters the ranking at 40th (1,645 views). On efficiency, Le Républicain Lorrain shows the best views-per-post-vs-followers ratio in the ranking (500.2%): an average post there reaches an audience well beyond its own community size.

4. Methodology#

The data comes from Nonli's social listening, which continuously tracks the public Instagram accounts of French regional dailies (PQR). The ranking covers Reels views on Reels published between November 1 and 30, 2025. Counters are read at the end of the period; since views keep accruing after publication, small differences with later readings are normal.

In the same series, next month: December 2025 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.
