Le Canard Enchaîné is a satirical paper!

Yes, but not in the same way The Onion (or its French counter part Le Gorafi) are satirical.

Le Canard enchainé makes fun of people and institutions, but never makes stuff up, and are arguably more rigorous than most mainstream media outlet. They have a long history of exposing real scandals, albeit with a tongue-in-cheek manner.

Nope. It's a serious newspaper reporting on serious news. Usually with a vitriolic tone and wordplay, but it's absolutely not a satirical newspaper like the onion (the french equivalent would be le gorafi).

Same news other serious outlet:
