The front page content is quite different. Very little overlap in fact.

I have it on my non-feed reading list. Layout sucks --very traditional, just like Brad likes. hhh 

I can't decide yet if it is worth a scan but, if I decide to stay it is definitely going to have to be ripped/modified.

White background with amber-ish (peach) AND phosphor green type worked well for me in the web era you like.  Did a couple thousand per month in hotel bookings in its heyeday. Ask the Vikings.

Ugly Sites SellTM  --but Le Monde presentation isn't ugly, just 'flat' and 'old'. Maybe it works better on a phone?

>>can't decide

I always had Le Monde in my feed to get a non-US perspective. The English version seems to be much more US-oriented, which reduces its value to me.
