Macedonians (in French: Macédoniens) in France form a small minority mainly concentrated in the capital Paris.[citation needed] Most of the immigrants originated from the Skopje, Bitola, Sloeštica, Struga, Ohrid and Kicevo regions.[citation needed][citation needed] More still emigrated to France after the breakup of Yugoslavia. The French government estimates the number of Macedonians in France to be 2,300 while Macedonian figures put the number at over 15,000 people.
The names of 33 Macedonian soldiers killed fighting for France in World War I are inscribed on a monument in the Peace Park of Colombelles, Normandy.[3]
