Population
The Lebanese population in France is estimated to be from 225,000[3] to 250,000 people. During the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), the Lebanese population in France was believed to be approximately 200,000 people.[4]
History
Although there has been sporadic migration from the Middle East to France since the 17th century, the real growth of the French Lebanese population began in 1975, with the start of the civil war in Lebanon which drove thousands of people away. No concrete data exists on the religious affiliations; however, it is commonly assumed that Maronite Christians make up the majority of the Lebanese population in France.
