Arabs in France are people of Arab descent living in France.
Demographics
French people of Arab 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 descent because ethnic statistics are forbidden in France.[1]
Most immigration was in the 1960s and the early 1970s, a period of economic growth, but many of them managed to bring their families after 1973. They have settled mainly in the industrial regions in France, especially the Paris region, but also in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon, Alsace, Rhône-Alpes and Corsica.
Maghrebis
Many French people have Maghrebi ancestry since the Arabs in France are predominantly Maghrebis.
