history

The editor Arsène Alexandre (1859–1937) wrote the texts. Writers such as Tristan Bernard , Alphonse Allais , Jules Renard and Paul Gordeaux (1891–1974) also had their say.

Social excesses of the Fin de Siècle , the Belle Époque and much of the rest of the 20th century were targeted and ridiculed in the illustrated magazine founded and published by Félix Juven (1862–1947). In addition, the issues had a certain entertainment value. There was no lack of trips to the vaudeville theater with situation reports about Yvette Guilbert , Polaire , Mélinite or the Soubrette Réjane, as well as about prominent audiences like Madame Séverine . With 100,000 copies published, Le Rire was one of the most successful satirical papers on the continent.
