The magazine was established under the name of Le Vif in 1983.[1][2] Its name was changed to Le Vif/L'Express when an agreement was made with the French magazine L'Express.[1] Both magazines have had a cooperation since then[3] and are both owned by Roularta Media Group.[4][5]

Le Vif/L'Express has its headquarters in Brussels.[2][5] As of 2010 Thierry Fiorilli was the editor-in-chief of the magazine,[2] which is published weekly on Fridays[5][6] and offers news on politics, economics, investigations, society and culture in relation to both Belgium and international events.[4] It also covers news on literature and sports.[6] During the period of 2011-2012 55.3% of its readers were men.[7]
