Paul de Lourdoueix
Antoine Paul Pannier Lelarge de Lourdoueix (3 September 1818 – 28 June 1868) was a French journalist.
Biography
Paul de Lourdoueix was born in Paris, the son of Saint-Germain-en-Laye merchant Antoine Jean Pannier and Sophie Teissier, a woman of letters. After his father's death, his mother remarried Jacques Honoré Lelarge de Lourdoueix, a landowner and royalist journalist, who adopted Paul in 1841.[1]
1841 was also the year when, under the presidency of Albert de Broglie, he was listed among the Légitimistes alongside Louis-Joseph Buffet, Adolphe de Forcade La Roquette, Louis de Cormenin, Charles and Henri-Léon Camusat de Riancey, etc.; against the Orléanistes (the Broglie party) including Victor de Lavenay, François de Bourgoing, Fernand de Montesquiou; Baron de Daunant, Georges Aubernon,[lower-alpha 1] etc.[2]
From November 8, 1848, he was editor-in-chief in Amiens of the new daily L'Ami de l'Ordre, whose motto was "Religion—Liberty—Progress" and which remained in existence until 1859. In 1849, he launched a royalist biweekly in Perpignan: L'Étoile du Roussillon. The paper was repeatedly prosecuted and condemned by the authorities of the Second Republic, Paul de Lourdoueix himself being sentenced to a month in prison. The paper was seized, temporarily ceased publication, and then disappeared following a banning order issued by the new government after the advent of the Second Empire, in December 1851.
From 1854 to 1861, Paul de Lourdoueix managed the Gazette de France, following in the footsteps of his adoptive father. Due to health problems, he handed over the reins to Gustave Janicot in March 1861.
Paul de Lourdoueix died in Palalda at 49 years of age.
