A veritable local institution, Le Faucigny advocates independence when it comes to news from the Savoie region. With its acidic, satirical tone, Le Faucigny is a no-holds-barred newspaper that scratches the region's glories and tackles hot-button issues. Its cult features, such as Indiscretions and Kaya's drawings, are eagerly awaited by loyal readers. The successor to l'Allobroge, founded in 1863, Le Faucigny has been perpetuating a tradition of irreverence and freedom of tone since 1944. Taken over at the end of 2014 by Serge Coste, it remains accessible on your e-reader, so you can keep up with local news without any tongue-in-cheek.
