Les Cahiers du Sud

Les Cahiers du Sud (literaly “The Southern Notebooks”) was a French literary journal published in Marseille.

It was founded in 1914, as Fortunio, by the teenage Marcel Pagnol, although publication ended a few months later at the outbreak of the Great War. Pagnol restarted it in 1920 in Aix-en-Provence, before moving it back to Marseille the next year.[1] It was taken over and renamed by Jean Ballard in 1925, and published, under his direction, until 1966.[2]
