Les Guêpes (English: “the wasps”), a journal by Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, of a satirical tone.
In 1839, Karr started the monthly journal, Les Guêpes (The Wasps), of a keenly satirical tone, a publication which brought him the reputation of someone of "imperishable words" and biting wit. The first volumes of the journal, or magazine, were published from 1839-43. Karr attempted to revive the publication of Les Guêpes from 1852-55, an undertaking doomed to failure given the conditions of state censorship (under the regime of Napoleon III).
In 1848, he founded Le Journal.
