Encyclopedia
Le Journal was a Paris

published from 1892 to 1944 in a small, four-page format.
It was founded and edited by Fernand Arthur Pierre Xau until 1899. It was bought and managed by the family of Henri Letellier in 1899 and became "the most Parisian, the most literary, and the most boulevardier of the newspapers of Paris" (Simon Arbellot, see Curnonsky

again, and finally Lyon
