Le Monde

Le Monde is one of France's leading newspapers. Charles de Gaulle supported its naissance in 1944 when he decided France needed a serious and credible source to present to the world.

Circulation today exceeds 1.6 million, including readers in 46 countries throughout the world, making Le Monde the most frequently read French newspaper outside of France. Le Monde maintains an array of experienced journalists and an extensive research archive and still attracts leading intellectuals to write for the paper. Le Monde regularly covers politics, the economy, business and finance, culture and society.

For a national perspective on how the French are viewing national and world events, Le Monde is the source to use.
