France hosts the third-largest Armenian diaspora — estimated between 650,000 and 950,000 — descended primarily from 1915 Genocide refugees who arrived through the port of Marseille. The community concentrates in Paris (especially Issy-les-Moulineaux), Marseille, Lyon, and Valence, and is sustained by an active network of Armenian schools, parishes, and political organizations.
