In 1872, theSociedad de Inmigración Europea ("European Immigration Society") was founded in Peru. Its objective was promotingOld Worldimmigration by covering the costs of their journeys and financially supporting them during their first settler years in Peru.
The regions where most of the French immigrants originated from wereBordeaux,Paris,[1] as well as the French portion of theBasque Country.
