Le Tintamarre
''Le Tintamarre'' was a French satirical weekly newspaper published from 1843 to 1899. History Following a debut issue on March 19, 1843, ''Le Tintamarre'' was officially launched on April 2 of that year by Jules Lovy and Auguste Commerson, serving as editor-in-chief and director, respectively. The title, a colloquial French term for "noise" or "racket," was chosen for its similarity to Commerson's earlier publication, ''Le Tam-Tam''. Its subtitle, "''critique de la réclame, satire des puffistes''" ("criticism of advertising, satire of puffery"), reflected the paper's humorous and irreverent tone. Its pages featured witty, whimsical commentary on contemporary literary, artistic, and industrial developments alongside advertisements. Most articles were penned under pseudonyms, with Lovy and Commerson sharing the heteronym "Joseph Citrouillard," among others. By 1850, the paper's circulation reached 2,300 copies. In 1868, Léon Bienvenu, known as Touchatout, became co-owne ...

L'Intransigeant
''L'Intransigeant'' was a French newspaper founded in July 1880 by Henri Rochefort. Initially representing the left-wing opposition, it moved towards the right during the Boulanger affair (Rochefort supported Boulanger) and became a major right-wing newspaper by the 1920s. The newspaper was vehemently anti-Dreyfusard, reflecting Rochefort's positions. In 1906 under the direction of Léon Bailby it reaches a circulation of 400,000 copies.

Satirical Magazines Published In France
Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society. Satire may also poke fun at popular themes in art and film. A prominent feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm—"in satire, irony is militant", according to literary critic Northrop Frye— but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very thing ...

Second French Empire
The Second French Empire, officially the French Empire, was the government of France from 1852 to 1870. It was established on 2 December 1852 by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, president of France under the French Second Republic, who proclaimed himself Emperor of the French as Napoleon III. The period was one of significant achievements in infrastructure and economy, while France reasserted itself as the dominant power in Europe. Historians in the 1930s and 1940s disparaged the Second Empire as a precursor of fascism, but by the late 20th century it was re-evaluated as an example of a modernizing regime. Historians have generally given the Second Empire negative evaluations on its foreign policy, and somewhat more positive assessments of domestic policies, especially after Napoleon III liberalised his rule after 1858. He promoted French business and exports. The greatest achievements included a railway network that facilitated commerce and tied the nation together with Paris a ...
