Le Figaro, a morning daily newspaper published in Paris, "one of the great newspapers of France and of the world. Founded in 1826 as a sardonic and witty gossip sheet on the arts—named for Figaro, the barber of Seville—by 1866 Le Figaro was a daily that engaged some of the finest writers in France and filled its pages with political discourse. The paper was a pioneer in dividing the coverage and presentation of news into departments and in publishing interviews with celebrated personages." - Encyclopaedia Britannica
