History
After its independence, Mauritius fell into poverty and misery. At that time, the traditional host countries for Mauritian migrants like the United Kingdom and Australia had closed their doors, so many Mauritians began choosing France as their destination. They arrived in the 1970s, when migration from the rest of Africa to France was also increasing. The first Mauritian migrant to France was a Tamil doctor who settled in Strasbourg, in 1970.[2]
