Indians in France are expatriate residents of France from India, as well as people of Indian national origin. As of 2000[update], there were an estimated 65,000 Indians living in metropolitan France, in addition to 300,000 Indians in the French overseas departments and regions of Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guiana.
