- Source: Arabs in France
Arabs in France are those parts of the Arab diaspora who have immigrated to France, as well as their descendants. Subgroups include Algerians in France, Moroccans in France, Mauritanians in France, Tunisians in France, Lebanese in France and Refugees of the Syrian Civil War. This French subgroup of Arabs in Europe are concentrated in the Maghrebi communities of Paris.
Demographics
French people of Arab and Amazigh/African origin (predominantly from Maghreb but also some from Mashreq areas of the Arab world) in France forms the second largest ethnic group after French people of French origin.
There are no official figures concerning the demographics of French people of Arab/African descent because ethnic statistics are forbidden in France.
Most immigration was in 1960 and 1970, a period of economic growth, but many of them managed to bring their families after 1970. They have settled mainly in the industrial regions in France, especially the Paris region, but also in Marseille and other places.
Notable people
Maghrebis
Many notable French people have Maghrebi ancestry since Arabs in France are predominantly Maghrebis.
