French Brazilians (French: Franco-Brésilien, Portuguese: Franco-brasileiro or Galo-brasileiro) refers to Brazilian citizens of full, partial, or predominantly French ancestry, or French-born people residing in Brazil. Between 1850 and 1965 around 100,000 French people immigrated to Brazil. The country received the second largest number of French immigrants to South America after Argentina (239,000).
