La Montagne is a French language regional daily newspaper based in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The title was selected to reflect its alignment with the ideas of the Montagnards of the French Revolution.[1]

History and profile[]

La Montagne was established as an independent socialist publication by Alexandre Varenne in 1919.[2][3][4] He also served as the editor-in-chief of the paper[5] which is headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand.[6][7]

La Montagne was censored during World War II when France was occupied by the German forces, and the paper was suspended on 27 August 1943.[8][9] It was relaunched on 15 September 1944[8] and became the main daily in Auvergne.[1]

The Centre France group is the owner of La Montagne, which also owns other regional dailies and weeklies.[10] The majority shareholder in the company is the Alexander and Margaret Varenne Foundation.[11] La Montagne began to be published in tabloid format in January 2008.[4][12]
