Catering to a large Anglophone expat community, several newspapers provide English-language reporting on local Paris and France news, available around town at ubiquitous news kiosks and shops or by subscription.

The Connexion is a monthly English-language French newspaper, geared toward expats. It's €2.40 at newsstands, while an annual subscription costs €26. Established in 1987, French News is the other large expat voice in France. Also a monthly paper, a year’s subscription costs €28. Smaller monthly newsletter-style free publications like The Paris Times are distributed at popular Anglophone locales around town, such as Indiana restaurants and Starbucks. An excellent free source for classified ads is FUSAC, which you'll find anywhere Anglophones tend to frequent. For a French-published paper with an international flair, check out Le Monde Diplomatique, a monthly magazine published in French and English by French daily Le Monde. A yearly €41 subscription knocks about 25% off the stiff cover price. The International Herald Tribune is edited and published in Paris, costs €2, and is located everywhere. A plethora of the latest copies of other international periodicals are equally available around town.

Top French dailies such as Le Figaro, Le Monde, Le Parisien, and Libération can be found beside their Anglophone brethren, all selling for less than €2.
