Le Stamboul

Le Stamboul was a French language daily newspaper published from Constantinople, the entirety of which is now known as Istanbul, in the Ottoman Empire. It was the leading French newspaper in the city around the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century.[1][2] As of the beginning of the 20th century it was estimated to have a daily circulation of around 5,000.[1]

The name "Stamboul", the rendering of "Istanbul" used in French, referred to the portion of the city in the old city walls and not the entire city; the name "Istanbul" became used for the entire city in Turkish post-1923,[3] and the new Republican Turkish government requested foreign embassies and companies switch to Istanbul in 1930.[4][5]
