Moroccans in France

French-Moroccans or Franco-Moroccans or simply (French:Français-Marocaine) are French people of Moroccans descent living in France. People of Moroccan origin account for a large sector of the total immigrant population in France. Following the French protectorate in Morocco from 1912 to 1956, many Moroccans chose to immigrate to France from the 1960s to the present due to France's favorable economic conditions.
