The majority comes from North Africa 'Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria)
Algeria became independent in July 1962. Before , it was French.
There are many people coming from African countries as Senegal (was a French colony ) and many others.too as Benin , Togo, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali (called french Soudan before) , Cameroun ..........
They are many people coming from Asia. Some time ago, when "boats people" from Vietnam, Laos, Cambodge were running away, French NGO went to rescue them .
Of course there are many Chinese people as well and our Chinatown in Paris.
