I’m pleased to announce that Madame Figaro [1], one of the leading  
fashion magazines in Europe has just launched it’s brand new website  
developed with Ruby on Rails.

It might be the first big publication in France to adopt this  
framework, and the project, including a top class backend, was  
finished in three months by a team of four: Marca Tatem (project  
leader), Manuel Aristarán, Ned B. and Michel M… The  
design was entirely conceived by Arnaud Mercier, a renowned french  
interactive designer from Area 17. [2]

Michel.
