Frustrating Situation

For anybody who lives in a fairly small town in the UK, it can be very difficult to get your hands on even some of the most mainstream French newspapers (Le Figaro, Le Monde, Libération etc). Most small newsagents will refuse to order such newspapers in as so few people wish to buy them. In fact, international newspapers are only realistically viable in large towns and cities. Not any more….

Une Révolution!

In fact, there is a large selection of French press (Newspapers, Magazines, Comics etc) that is available right to your doorstep thanks to the International Press Network.
The UK’s leading supplier of international press, the network offers over 300 international titles to its subscribers. Subscription is done online and you can subscribe to a paper for a 3, 6 or 12 month period. As usual, the longer you subscribe, the more discount you get. Most newspapers cost around £1.20 each with a postage charge on top.
For example, to subscribe to the French Newspaper “Libération” for a year would cost around £80 in total. The paper is delivered straight to your doorstep and you can choose which edition you wish to receive (Mon, Tue, Wed etc).

If you are a French citizen living abroad, a modern languages student or you are simply interested in finding out about French culture and society then this is a really handy solution. For students, it is great for keeping up to date with contemporary issues in France and can be very handy when it comes to writing coursework or answering questions in both the classroom environment and oral examinations. Furthermore, it is a fun way of depthening you knowledge of both the French language and French culture and provides super respite from your creased textbook. This is just one of the ways you can spice up the process of learning a modern language.
