La Revue hebdomadaire was a literary magazine founded in 1892 by Fernand Laudet [fr] and published until 1939.

After having been its secretary in the 1910s, then its editor-in-chief in November 1920, succeeding René Moulin, François Le Grix [fr] (1881–1966) became its director, a position he kept from October 1922[1] until 1939.

Le Grix called on new collaborators such as François Mauriac (who called him “La Grise” in the 1910s, because of his displayed homosexuality),[2] responsible for the theatrical section from 1921 to 1923, Edmond Jaloux (literary life), Wladimir d'Ormesson (foreign policy), Louis Latzarus [fr] (Parisian life, then political chronicle from 1928), Gustave Fagniez and Frantz Funck-Brentano (history), Robert Vallery-Radot [fr] (religious life), Paul Reynaud (parliamentary forum).

[3] The success of the Cartel des Gauches led the journal to take a stand in political debates and gradually become radicalized.

The fascist dictator granted him financial assistance with two million francs, which enabled him to buy the daily L'Ami du peuple [fr].
