Voir de près

Voir de près (Éditions Voir de Près) is a French publishing house dedicated to large-print books. Its catalogue is built around the idea that "reading in large print is easier": airy layouts, simple typography at comfortable sizes, and good contrast make reading more accessible for people with low vision, attention difficulties, dyslexia, fatigue, or simply a preference for comfortable reading. The publisher serves readers from age 5 upward, covering classic and contemporary literature, French and foreign, across novels, tales, short stories, narratives, theatre and poetry. A notable feature of its list is that it includes the complete set of works on the French baccalauréat (high-school leaving exam) French syllabus. All reissued works are presented as full, unabridged versions without cuts or modifications, except where a title is clearly identified as an abridged or adapted edition. The house sells both to individuals and to institutions: libraries, bookshops, senior residences, medico-social centres and schools. Orders can be placed online through a personal or professional account, by telephone with card payment, or by post using an order form from the catalogue. Shipping within mainland France is by Colissimo, dispatched within 24 to 48 hours, with delivery charges of €6 and a nominal €0.01 from €45 of order value; overseas shipping is quoted individually. The catalogue spans children's and young-adult titles as well as general literature, with children's series such as "Histoires à croquer dès 5 ans" and authors including Charlotte Moundlic, Bertrand Santini, Kochka, Claire Renaud, Pascal Ruter, Florence Medina, Nathalie Somers and Delphine Perret. The publisher uses accessible typefaces such as Luciole for young readers. Voir de près positions itself at the intersection of publishing and accessibility, addressing the growing demand for adapted reading formats in France.
