Often critical towards Charles de Gaulle, Le Monde was often described in the past as left-wing, but its editorial line may be more appropriately described nowadays as centre-left. In 1981, it backed the election of Socialist François Mitterrand on the grounds that alternation of the political party in government would be beneficial to the country.

Its motto, from Figaro’s monologue in the play’s final act, is “Sans la liberté de blâmer, il n’est point d’éloge flatteur” (“Without the freedom to criticise, there is no true praise”).

Latest World and Local News in France - Newspaper La Croix — La Croix is a daily French general-interest Roman Catholic newspaper. It is not explicitly liberal or conservative on major political issues, rather adopting a human-centered approach in its style of journalism, in line with the Church’s position.

The paper was founded in 1880 and is owned by Bayard Presse.

Latest World and Local News in France - Newspaper Aujourd'hui — Le Parisien is a French daily newspaper covering both international and national news, and local news of Paris and its suburbs. A national edition exists, called Aujourd’hui en France (“Today in France”). Today, the newspaper’s ideology is political centre, rather right-wing. It could be considered as an equivalent to Le Figaro with an editorial line meant more for the masses, including casual information about popular culture.

Latest World and Local News in France - Newspaper L'Équipe — L’Équipe, is a French nationwide daily newspaper devoted to sports. The paper is noted for coverage of football (soccer), rugby, motorsports and cycling. Its ancestor was L’Auto, a general sports paper, whose name reflected not any narrow interest but the excitement of the time in car racing. L’Auto originated the Tour de France cycling stage race in 1903 as a circulation booster. The race leader’s yellow jersey (maillot jaune) was instituted in 1919, probably to reflect the distinctive yellow newsprint on which L’Auto was published. The competition that would eventually become the UEFA Champions League was also the brainchild of a l’Equipe journalist.
