La Nature (Nature) was a French language magazine aimed at the popularization of science founded in 1873 by French scientist and adventurer Gaston Tissandier. The magazine also received an enormous amount of time, effort and contributions from his brother, Albert Tissandier.
A weekly magazine until the 1920s, it became first fortnightly, and in 1948 it began to be published monthly.
From 1873 to 1914, each year started at the beginning of December. The second six-month period began with the first issue in June. Starting in 1915, La Nature's publishing year was brought in sync with the calendar year.
