Malagasy people in France consist of migrants fromMadagascar and their descendants living and working in France.
The first wave of immigrants from Madagascar who came in France were soldiers recruited ascolonial troops into theFrench Armed Forces to fight in theWorld Wars. After 1947, some Malagasy nationalist students came to study in parts of Europe and Asia[1] The second wave of immigrants began in 1975, because of the political instability inMadagascar.[1] The third wave, which began in 1990s, is composed mostly ofeconomic migrants.[1]
