The French Diaspora refers to the communities of French citizens and their descendants living outside of France. This includes individuals who have emigrated for various reasons, such as work, education, or family ties. Major populations can be found in countries like the United States, Canada, and Brazil, where they maintain aspects of their French culture and language. The diaspora also plays a significant role in global culture, contributing to the arts, cuisine, and business in their host countries. Events like Bastille Day are celebrated by French expatriates, fostering a sense of community and connection to their homeland.
