====Maghrebis in France====
People of [[Maghrebis|Maghrebi]] origin form the largest ethnic group in the country after those of European origin.

According to {{ill|Michèle Tribalat|fr}}, a researcher at [[Institut national d'études démographiques|INED]], there were 3.5 million people of Maghrebi origin (with at least one grandparent from Algeria, Morocco or Tunisia) living in France in 2005 corresponding to 5.8% of the total French metropolitan population (60.7 million in 2005).<ref>Michèle Tribalat, [http://eps.revues.org/index3657.html " Mariages " mixtes " et immigration en France "], Espace populations sociétés, 2009/2 | 2009, mis en ligne le 01 avril 2011</ref> Maghrebis have settled mainly in the industrial regions in France, especially in the [[Île-de-France (region)|Paris region]]. Many famous French people like [[Edith Piaf]],<ref>Carolyn Burke.
