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.
