Le Figaro is a daily newspaper that was called Figaro between 1922 and 1934. It is one of the most important French newspapers.

Figaro walks along a terrace overlooking the Champs-Élysées avenue, the Eiffel Tower and Paris. He has a critical look and a large quill to write his articles. Many readers surround him.
At the request of François Coty, the newspaper's director, the planes: the "Point d'Interrogation" and the "Trait d'Union" were enclosed in the Parisian sky (Cf. "Les Maîtres de l'opinion : Figaro, l'Ami du Peuple" by G. Charensol published in les Nouvelles Littéraires on 15/10/1932).
