Le Pays de France (subtitled Organe des états généraux du tourisme) was a French newspaper of the First World War. It originated in a monthly paper edited by Le Matin and intended for promotion of tourism. Its numéro 1, as a monthly, began on 10 May 1914 and ended with numéro 3 in July 1914. It then became a weekly paper on 12 November 1914, ceasing publication in 1919, with its final issue (numéro 219) on 26 December 1918. Resolutely patriotic in tone, it reported battles and the wartime experiences of France's soldiers and people in reports, battle maps and photographs.
