Still Waters Posted February 29 #1 Share Posted February 29 The world's only quadrennial, or four-yearly newspaper, has hit the kiosks again in France with the release of a new issue of the satirical La Bougie du Sapeur. The singularity of the 20-page tabloid is that it comes out only on 29 February - so once every leap-year. The first edition was in 1980, and this is issue 12. Conceived by a group of friends who "wanted to have a laugh", La Bougie du Sapeur (The Sapper's Candle) has a print run of 200,000. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68423991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
