Hi.

I do not find the fees excessive.

For example would a fee for a photo reproduced in a magazine with 5000 copies produced cost approx 25 Euros, and for a publication with 25000 copies it is approx 35 Euros.

Afaik this fee give you a digital copy in print quality and the right to use it.

I do not know how much you get paid for writing such an article in France, but it is not unheard of that such a reproduction fee is covered by the publisher, and not the author.

Regards and good luck with your article.
