Radio Courtoisie

Radio Courtoisie is a French news and talk station based in Paris, with programming in French and an online stream through its official website. Created in 1987 by Jean Ferré, it describes itself around the “pays réel,” the francophone world, and voices from the political right. Its long-running identity centers on commentary, culture, religion, and politics. The Libre Journal format, developed by Ferré before the station’s launch, became one of its defining programs, built around extended conversations with guests. Radio Courtoisie has also used daily information programming and presents itself as an associative union-based station that does not carry advertising.
