Le Courrier des Alpes

Le Courrier des Alpes (also known as: Le Courrier des Alpes, journal de la Savoie et des États Sardes), was a former conservative, known as "clerical" political newspaper that was published from February 3, 1843 until1903.[1][2]

The paper was led by Jacques-Marie Raymond, and later by his brother Claude-Melchior Raymond, alongside the poet Jean-Pierre Veyrat. It succeeded the Journal de Savoie (1815–1842):[1] a political, religious, and literary publication also covering agriculture and the arts, which had been founded by their father, Georges-Marie Raymond.

Editorial stance

The newspaper was catholic, monarchist, and conservative in its editorial stance.[1]

It was one of several press outlets, notably alongside L'Écho du Mont-Blanc, published in Annecy, that supported the cause of conservative Savoyard deputies, led by Senator Costa de Beauregard, in the parliament of the Kingdom of Sardinia in Turin.[3]

During the debates over the future of the Duchy of Savoy in 1859–1860, the paper, much like Le Bon Sens, took a position in favor of union with neighboring France, a stance known as "annexationist".[4][5]
