France diaspora in Madagascar

People from France in Madagascar meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.

Communities by city

How many people from France live in Madagascar?

According to the United Nations, 10,800 people from France live in Madagascar.

In total, 2,210,000 people from France live abroad, and about 1% of them live in Madagascar.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from France in Madagascar

No community for people from France exists in Madagascar on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Antananarivo, and each one can host its community.

Other diasporas in Madagascar

There, the largest diasporas also come from the Comoros, China, and India, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.

Joining the France community in Madagascar

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
