About Le Peuple
Le Peuple is a historical French newspaper archive hosted on RetroNews, a platform run by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF).

The archive lists 355 issues from 1 November 1848 to 13 June 1849, and the title is classed as general information press.
The page explains the title's history. The paper began in 1847 as Le Représentant du peuple, with Proudhon as a writer. After it was suspended in 1848, Proudhon became editor-in-chief and relaunched it as Le Peuple. Later, under the name La Voix du Peuple, it appeared only sporadically between October 1849 and October 1850.
