Chechens in France is a small diaspora in France but one of the most important groups in the Chechen diaspora.
History
The Chechen immigrants came to France as political refugees in the early 2000s, fleeing from the war in their home.[1] Today, there are approximately 30,000 Chechens in France, making it one of the biggest communities among the Chechen diaspora.
