  • Le Charivari, an illustrated newspaper, was published in Paris from 1833 to 1937.

The illustrators Cham (the pseudonym of Charles Amédée de Noé) and Charles Vernier were frequent contributors.
  • La Périchole was a comedy with songs, written by Emmanuel Théaulon and Alfred de Forges, and first presented at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal, Paris, in 1835.
