How to cancel Le Monde

Cancel directly with Le Monde. Stopping your card payment does not end the contract, so you could still owe money.

Steps

Fill in the online cancellation form (formulaire de désabonnement) linked from the Je souhaite résilier mon abonnement help page
Or call customer service on +33 328 25 71 71 from outside France (03 28 25 71 71 in France) and choose option 3; lines are open 9am to 7pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 5pm on Saturday, French time
Or email clientnumerique@lemonde.fr for a digital subscription, or abojournalpapier@lemonde.fr for a print subscription

If you subscribed in the app through Apple, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, select Le Monde and tap Cancel Subscription
If you subscribed through Google Play, tap your profile picture in the Play Store, then Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, select Le Monde and cancel
If no cancel button appears in the store, the subscription has already ended or was bought with another account

Notice period

Terms say a monthly rolling (libre) plan can be cancelled at any time and usually ends at the end of the current month, while a fixed-term plan cannot be ended early and is not refundable. App Store plans renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Digital-only plans carry no 14-day withdrawal right.

Checked November 2026. Read Le Monde's terms

Paying through Apple or Google?

If you signed up in an app, cancel in that store instead: Apple or Google Play.

Before you finish

Check your next billing date, so you cancel in time.
Keep the cancellation confirmation, and check your statement after the end date. If you are charged again, ask for a refund.
Save or export anything you want to keep from your account.

Charged after cancelling, or stuck?

Contact Le Monde through its own help and contact page, and keep your cancellation confirmation to show them.

Need it in writing?

If Le Monde asks you to email, or you want a record, copy this and fill in the parts in brackets. Send it from the email on your account, and keep a copy.
