Le Parisien ("The Parisian") is a French daily newspaper covering both international and national news, and local news of Paris and its suburbs. It was established as Le Parisien libéré by Émilien Amaury in 1944, and the name was changed to the current one in 1986. A national edition exists, called Aujourd'hui en France ("Today in France").
It is the largest national newspaper in circulation in France with a combined circulation of 530,000 copies (2008).[1] It is owned by Éditions Philippe Amaury.
Nowadays, the newspaper's ideology is political centre, rather right-wing. It often shows support to Nicolas Sarkozy. 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.
