British migration to France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about French people of British descent. For British people of French descent, see French migration to the United Kingdom.
British migration to France has resulted in France being home to one of the largest British-born populations outside the United Kingdom. Migration from the UK to France has increased rapidly from the 1990s onwards. Estimates of the number of British citizens living in France vary from 261,000[1][6] to 400,000.[3][7][8][9] Besides Paris, many British expatriates tend to be concentrated in the regions of southern France, Brittany, and recently the island of Corsica. Dordogne has a large British immigrant community. The region has between 5,000 and 10,000 British residents and 800 British entrepreneurs, drawn by the French lifestyle, warm climate, and lower cost of living.[10][11][failed verification]
