{{Lang|fr|Le Siècle}} ("The Age") is a daily newspaper that was published from 1836 to 1932 in France.
History
In 1836, {{Lang|fr|Le Siècle}} was founded as a paper that supported constitutional monarchism. However, when the July Monarchy came to an end in 1848, the paper soon changed its editorial stance to one of republicanism. {{Lang|fr|Le Siècle}} opposed the rise of Napoleon III. The paper's relevance waned during the Third French Republic to the point where it was forced to cease publication in 1932 due to a lack of readers.
In 1860, at the peak of its popularity, the paper had a circulation of over 52,000.
