Timbropresse's companion magazine for youth was Timbroloisirs, whose goal was to extend the readership of Timbroscopie to philatelic beginners as well as to give confirmed philatelists new ideas for reorganising collections (by country, topic, etc.).

Timbroloisirs included detachable cardboard stamp albums for such reorganisations, an innovation continued by Timbres magazine after the merger.

In 2000, the combined editorial staffs tried to keep what they thought best of the three original magazines: detailed knowledge and exacting research from Le Monde des philatélistes and Timbroscopie, with lighter topical philately inspired by Timbroloisirs.

In the 2000s, under the direction of editor-in-chief Gauthier Toulemonde,[4] Timbres magazine went beyond reporting philatelic news and sought to influence policy.

Toulemonde started in an exotic location, travelled with the mail, and filmed its adventures en route to the post offices where he delivered it.
