LE FAUCIGNY
Sour chronicles from the Savoy region. A newspaper that aims to be "free and independent", Le Faucigny offers an incisive overview of local political events and hot topics related to land use planning, justice... Sections that scratch the local glories, embellished with the drawings of the comedian Kaya and the famous Indiscrétions of Charles-Félix, expected every Thursday by his loyal readers, not to mention the ritual legal announcements. Le Faucigny is the successor to L'Allobroge, created in 1863 by master printer François Chavin in Bonneville, in the province of Faucigny, the day after the annexation of Savoy to France. Having merged with Le Mont-Blanc republican, secular and anticlerical in 1920, before being bought by the Plancher family, the weekly Le Faucigny was truly born at the Liberation in 1944. His satirical tone made him successful in the 1980s. Taken over in 2013 by one of its journalists, Serge Coste, it moved to Thonon-les-Bains in 2015 with its team of four journalists. 7,500 copies of the newspaper are printed and sold by subscription, by newsstand issue or directly in its e-mail box in PDF format.
