Le Renouveau was the organ of the then ruling party, Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD), which was the successor the Neo Destour Party.[5][6] RCD also owned Al Hurriya.[7][8]

Mohamed Nejib Ouerghi served as the editor-in-chief of the paper.[9] The paper ceased publication in 2011 following the removal of the President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.[10]

In 1985 the estimated circulation of the paper was 13,500 copies whereas it was 33,000 copies in 2003.[4]
