About Le Devoir

Le Devoir is an independent Montréal daily newspaper founded in 1910 by Henri Bourassa. It is known for its coverage of politics and culture, and for in-depth opinion pieces that feed public debate in Quebec. Its independence from large media groups is a core part of its identity.

Le Devoir suits French readers who want thoughtful analysis of Quebec and world affairs, students of Quebec society and newcomers improving their French. Many readers turn to it for the weekend edition, with long reads on books, arts and ideas. It is a good companion to a slow Saturday morning coffee.
