Mauritanians in France consist of migrants from Mauritania and their descendants living and working in France. They are a diaspora from the Maghreb in France.
The wave of Mauritanians immigrants began in the 1960s. A lot of male workers came to France, followed by their wives and children upon French request. A few thousands of Mauritanians came in France to work in the automotive industry. But, this wave of immigrants stopped in the 1980s, because of the hardening of immigration policy in France. [1]
