Good online french newspapers or magazines?

[Daft Doctor]

Hi

I have waded through the Michel Thomas french CD's and at the end he recommends regularly reading newspapers or magazines with interviews and quotations in, making it easier to transfer knowledge of spoken french to help understand the written language.

Not living in France, I wondered if anyone could recommend some french online magazines or newspapers that might be useful in this respect (without the need to pay a subscription).  Any advice is gratefully received, thank you.

You might like to try the following

http://www.france24.com/fr/

World news in French. (You can also read the same news in English on the website if you get lost, but it is not a word for word translation).  France 24 is also a news station (English and French) which we receive via Satellite in France though I am not sure if you can get it in the UK.

The full title of the magazine is Nouvel Observateur. A good general interest weekly magazine covering a wide range of topics: lots of shorter articles which might make an easier starting point.

Good luck.

LE MONDE is the one I visit most but you might prefer FIGARO.
