Turks in France or French Turks (French: Turcs de France; Turkish: Fransa Türkleri) are Turkish people who have immigrated to France. However, the term may also refer to French-born persons who have Turkish parents or who have a Turkish ancestral background. After Germany, France is the main destination country for Turks who emigrate. According to INSEE, French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies, immigrants and their children (2nd generation) represented 459,000 individuals in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word france:
“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
