Cameroonians in France consist of migrants from Cameroon and their descendants living and working in France.

History

[edit]

The first Cameroonian immigrants in France came in the 1970s, like the Congolese, some years after the first immigrant wave from Sub-Saharan Africa (Senegal Valley) to France.[1] This immigration has sped up in the 1980s (due to the social and economic crisis in Cameroon)[2]
