Le Rappel


Le Rappel was a French daily newspaper founded in 1869 by Victor Hugo's sons. It was published from the end of the French Second Empire until 1933. At the start of the Third Republic, it embodied a radical-republican tendency and as such was highly contested by the French government.

Publication history
