History
The first Bissau-Guineans immigrants came in the early 20th century. There were Manjacks navigators who works for French companies. They came via Senegal to ports like Marseille, Bordeaux, Rouen, Le Havre or Dunkerque. There was family reunification with wives of the navigators who came in France in the 50s and 60s. There was also an other wave of Bissau-Guinean immigration, mostly composed of economic migrants.
Origins
Most of the Bissau-Guineans in France are Manjack people, from the north-west of Bissau-Guinea.
