PSG and the history of the French title

Ligue 1's recent history belongs to Paris Saint-Germain, whose 14 titles, the vast majority won since 2013, have made them the most successful club in French football. Backed by major investment, PSG turned domestic dominance into a springboard for their long-awaited European breakthrough.

Before Paris took over, France's crown was shared by its traditional powers. Marseille and Saint-Étienne lead the chasers on 10 titles each: Saint-Étienne ruled the 1960s and 1970s, while Marseille lit up the early 1990s and became the first French club to win the Champions League.

Monaco and Nantes (8 each), plus Lyon, whose seven straight titles from 2002 to 2008 are a French record, complete a roll of honour that spans every era of the French game.
