A new kind of newspaper
Le Petit 3 (leh puh-tee THREE)
half Americaine – half Parisienne (just like the paper)
Le Petit 3 is a new kind of newspaper that invites
you to experience the romance of reading
the paper without the stress of the news.
While no news can be within
our pages – each issue
still functions as
a mirror
for the moment,
with every edition acting
as a love letter to the present. One that you
won’t want to toss aside for tomorrow’s next best
thing but keep and collect as a prized piece of ephemera.
Come time travel with us.
Attuned to the seasons, Le Petit 3 explores the collective and cosmic themes at hand by way of articles, interviews, letters, and works of art that bring deeper meaning to the moment. A little artsy, a bit intellectual, and a touch esoteric, Le Petit 3 examines topics at once classic and timely in a medium that feels both storied and completely fresh.
This form has a function. A newspaper is more than a mere wisp of words to fly through and forget, as an article published on a screen might be. Instead, it is a tactile object that delivers not just ideas, but real pleasure in the feeling of paper and the delight of surprise that comes with receiving mail. It is an accessible and essential antidote to the amnesia of real-life beauty, and it is an easy indulgence in an elegant aesthetic when one makes the choice to engage with tactile slow media.
We proudly see each issue of Le Petit 3 published as a sincere effort towards the revival of our tangible, aesthetic, and intellectual inheritance. Our small team of writers, artists, and aesthetes put our hearts into creating something transportive, thoughtful, deep, and unique that transcends time and trend. We are reviving the old ways for the new age.
