THE Avignon Courier occupies an important place in the international French-language press of the 18th centuryth century. It enjoys a reputation for independence linked to its publication in a papal enclave of the Kingdom of France. “Without being totally usurped, this reputation was largely exaggerated” (R. Moulinas, 1992). In fact, the newspaper escapes the press control system in France (privilege with prior authorization) but is subject to control by the papal authorities. In addition, a permanent threat weighs on him: the termination of the advantageous contract signed in 1740 with the management of the French postal services. Contract which allowed the sale of the Avignon Courier at a lower price than that of other French-language foreign gazettes and thus ensured wide distribution. Before the “postal revolution” of the 1950s (R. Moulinas, 1977 and G. Feyel, 1992) the subscription to a Dutch gazette costs around a hundred pounds in France, after 1759 a little over £30; subscription to Avignon Courier evolves between £6 (1733) and £18 (1748). Le Courrier d'Avignon appeared from 1733 to 1793 with an interruption, between February 1769 and August 1775, where it was published in Monaco (annexation of Avignon to France from 1768 to 1774). Biweekly since 1733, it became triweekly in July 1789 then it appeared 6 times a week in January 1790. From the end of 1733 this periodical proved to be an excellent commercial affair, which is why it did not cease to arouse desire until 1793. In December 1733, François Morénas, creator and editor of the Courrier d'Avignon, was forced into association by the bookseller-printer Charles Giroud. The latter asserts its rights as holder of the privilege of reprinting foreign gazettes in Avignon, it will produce and distribute the Courier. In 1739, Pierre Valfray, holder of the privilege of reprinting La Gazette in Lyon, tried to prevent the entry of the Courrier d'Avignon into France. It was in response to this attack that Giroud concluded a treaty with the management of the French postal services. It can thus distribute free of charge in Dauphiné, Provence and Languedoc under very advantageous conditions (treaty renewed and extended to the entire kingdom in 1750). In 1742, Morénas having left Avignon, Giroud took advantage of his absence to break their association contract and seize the title, the writing of which he continued with authors whose names are not known to us. In 1750 Giroud reconciled with Morénas, whom he took on as a salaried editor until the suppression of the Courrier d'Avignon during the French occupation. From 1769 to 1775, the privilege of the Gazette de France applying in Avignon, Morénas took over the periodical. He continued it until his death (1774), with a printer from Marseille, under the protection of Prince Honoré III of Monaco. From the end of 1733 this periodical proved to be an excellent commercial affair, which is why it did not cease to arouse desire until 1793.
