    Why do you want a tabloid? Why, for example, won't Le Monde do - their website has a fairly decent front page - the front page of the Nouvel Observateur is pretty good too. The only tabloid I can think of is Le Parisien.

    LCI has, if I remember rightly, a decent overview too, although I haven't looked at it for a while.

    Hmm...I remember when I was doing a language postgrad in London with a lot of French and Italian students, they said the tabloids in English were the hardest to read, because they relied a lot on colloquial English, and word play and puns which were very difficult for foreigners. They found things like the Times and the Independent far more comprehensible and easy because they were written in "proper" English.

    Yeah, trying to make sense of headlines in The Mirror with their gruesome, mangled puns is hard enough for a native speaker. I'd really love to know how people manage to pull off that nudge-nudge style of writing, it sounds like a witty scanger, which itself is pretty hard to imagine.

    Anyway, OP, you're looking for Paris Match I reckon (just don't ask me who any of the 'celebrities' are).
