English translation:(probably) Jours de France

Explanation:
Perhaps it is "Jours de France"

Jours de France is a defunct French news magazine which was created and belonged to French Industrialist Marcel Dassault in the 60s and 70s. It succeeded to an earlier magazine called Semaine de France and was originally intended as a competitor to Paris Match.

It was used as a tool by Dassault to propagate his political ideas and vision, such as organizing a World Fair in Paris (which did not happen).

It was sent for free to all French dentists and physicians in France so that it was available to patients in the waiting rooms. It was essentially supported by publicity, which allow to keep a relatively low price. .

It had pages devoted to fashion, health issues, social events in Paris, a regular editorial by Marcel Dassault, drawings by Jacques Faizant, Coq, Kiraz and Hervé (alias of Hervé des Vallières).
