Podsumowanie

From 19th-century political exiles and interwar coal miners to today’s cosmopolitan professionals, the Polish presence in France is a story of resilience, reinvention and identity. Through vivid historical research and first-hand interviews – from Paris to Marseille – this piece uncovers a less obvious diaspora shaped by exile, labour, and cultural exchange, revealing how generations of Poles have left their mark on France while navigating what it means to belong, both here and back home.
