Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel, Media regulatory authority in Paris, France.
The Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel is an independent public authority in Paris that regulates broadcasting and television across France. It monitors content and protects broadcast freedom from its office on Quai André Citroën.
A law passed on January 17, 1989 created the authority to replace two earlier institutions for media oversight. It inherited their responsibilities and expanded supervision of audiovisual communication in France.
The authority oversees representation and language standards across French television and radio. Its work shapes millions of daily broadcast minutes and influences the media landscape throughout the country.
The headquarters sits on the southern bank of the Seine in the 15th arrondissement, accessible by metro or on foot along the riverfront. Inquiries can be made by phone or through the official website.
A pictogram system marks television programs with age recommendations and helps viewers assess content. This visual guidance appears on screen before and during broadcasts.
