History

Although most of immigration from Sri Lanka started during the Sri Lankan Civil War, there have been a presence of Sri Lankans in France since the early 20th century since the times of  Ceylon. Ceylonese in high positions often went to Europe to study, tour and visit, mostly in England, but also France such as that of Sir John Kotelawala. There have been Ceylonese who fought alongside the British on the Western Front (areas of present-day Belgium, France and Luxembourg) during WW1.[2]

Since the Sri Lankan Civil War the issue of illegal Sri Lankan immigration is a topic of concern for France.[3]

Demographics

The Sri Lankan population in France is estimated at approximately 52,300.[1] However, the actual number is difficult to ascertain since statistics by ethnicity or religious denomination are prohibited in France.[4]

Organisations

The Sri Lankan Diaspora have created a number of associations which organise Sri Lankan festivals, cultural functions and sports events for the Sri Lankan community.[5]
