History
The magazine was established in 1883 by Camille Flammarion and preceded the establishment of the society by 3 years. With the foundation of the society in 1887, a second journal was started, the Bulletin mensuel de la Société Astronomique de France. The two existed in parallel up to 1894. In the December 1894 issue, Flammarion announced in an editorial that L'Astronomie would cease to exist.[1] From January 1895 to December 1910, only the Bulletin de la Société Astronomique de France was published. Starting from January 1911, the Bulletin was renamed L'Astronomie, while preserving the volume numbering of the Bulletin.
