A Big French No

2:45 PM, May 30, 2005

In the wake of the big Eurovote, here are some Monday front pages from France (except that's a Tuesday front page for Le Monde, as they take les weekends off, huge government-altering news or not).

Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.

Le Monde doesn't exactly take le weekend off. They just have an odd publication schedule - it's an afternoon paper that appears with the next day's date.

So there's a weekend edition that appears on Saturday with Sunday's date, but then no Sunday paper with Monday's date. The "Tuesday" paper shown here is really Monday's. Ah, those French...

There aren't really any big Sunday papers in France. Liberation and Le Figaro don't do Sunday editions either, though Le Figaro's weekend edition appears first on Saturday morning with news sections only, and then again later in the day (for 4 euros instead of 1) with a bunch of magazine supplements.

There's also "Le Journal de Dimanche," a Sunday-only tab.

(Or at least that's how it was when I was last in Paris for a weekend, three years ago.)

I'd like to see the full-page graphic Le Monde is teasing to from their page one. Can anyone get ahold of it?

looks like the font embedding was blown on that la tribune - unless they're actually using those fonts *shudder*
