French paper Le Monde is still the number one national general daily newspaper in France, according to the French audit bureau of circulation. Although Le Monde remains number one in circulation for national news, free papers like 20 Minutes and Metro are right at it’s heels with both national and local news. Free papers like 20 Minutes in Spain have already taken over half the whole market.
