Le Matin Bleu (literally: "The blue morning") was a Swiss French language free daily newspaper, published by Edipresse in Lausanne between 2005 and 2009.
A tabloid-format newspaper, Le Matin Bleu was first published on 31 October 2005, [1] [2] and had a circulation of about 100,000.[ when? ] It was launched in anticipation of 20 minutes , the French-language edition of 20 Minuten , starting 8 March 2006, both of which are also free daily newspapers.
The newspaper was distributed in the most-populated areas of Romandy. While it shared its name with the daily newspaper Le Matin , also published by Edipresse, it was edited independently.
On 24 September 2009, the newspaper ceased publication because of the merger of Edipresse and Tamedia, which was already publishing 20 minutes.
