Le Courrier Du Pays De Retz
Le Courrier du pays de Retz is a French weekly regional information newspaper created in 1844 and distributed on Fridays in the Pays de Retz area, in the department of Loire-Atlantique. History The first issue of L'Écho de Paimbœuf, a weekly journal of literary and maritime advertisements, appeared in 1844 in Paimbœuf, then a sub-prefecture of Loire-Inférieure.
