French Historical Studies is an academic journal devoted to the study of French history, notable for its diverse form and content. The journal covers not only traditional academic articles and papers, but also special forums and review articles, providing a platform for scholars to discuss and comment in depth on French history and related academic issues. In addition, the journal regularly publishes special issues focusing on the research results of a particular topic or period, further enriching the depth and breadth of academic discussion.

Another notable feature of the journal is its inclusion and support of articles in French, which not only reflects respect for the study of French history, but also provides an opportunity for scholars worldwide to understand and learn from the academic achievements of French history. Each issue is accompanied by a bilingual abstract of the article, making it easy for non-French readers to access key information and academic perspectives, facilitating the international dissemination and exchange of academic results.
