[1] Paulhan made him a reader in March 1946 on behalf of the Éditions de Minuit, where Lambrichs had his first book published.
At Minuit, he published among others François Augiéras, Pierre Klossowski, Samuel Beckett, Alain Robbe-Grillet, and Michel Butor.
After a brief stint at Grasset, Gaston Gallimard hired him in January 1959: first as director of series of contemporary literature with Jeune Prose, which lasted from February 1959 to June 1962 and which brought out the first texts by Jacques Chessex and Jean-Loup Trassard.
Between 1959 and 1992, Le Chemin published 284 titles, including essays by Michel Foucault, Henri Meschonnic and Jean Starobinski.
In 1967, Lambrichs, in addition to his collection, edited the magazine Les Cahiers du Chemin, which merged in 1977 with La Nouvelle Revue française when he took over from Marcel Arland as its director until 1987.
