French Brazilians (French: Franco-Brésilien; Portuguese: Franco-brasileiro or galo-brasileiro) refers to Brazilian citizens of full or partial French ancestry or persons born in France who reside in Brazil. Between 1850 and 1965 around 100,000 French people immigrated to Brazil.[3] The country received the second largest number of French immigrants to South America after Argentina (239,000). It is estimated that there are around 1 million Brazilians of French descent today.[1]
French immigration to Brazil
The French community in Brazil numbered 592 in 1888 and 5,000 in 1915.[4] It was estimated that 14,000 French people were living in Brazil in 1912, 9% of the 149,400 French people living in Latin America, the second largest community after Argentina (100,000).[5]
As of 2014, it is estimated that 30,000 French people are living in Brazil,[6] most of them in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. They form the largest community of French expatriates in Latin America.
