Exceptional meeting, very pleasantly bound, of five years of this emblematic journal of a modern press, combining reading, entertainment and images, launched by Emile de Girardin for a worldly audience, mainly female and Parisian, but of high literary quality: “wherever the elegant world must be, we will find ourselves with it to record its judgments”.
