MOROCCO-FRANCE. WITH THE DREAM OF A "PARADISE" LIFE
E. B. DEMINTSEVA Candidate of Historical Sciences To date, there is not a single European country that is not subject to intensive migration flows. In some cases, these flows seem to freeze on a certain territory, giving rise to either simply emigrant settlements, or more stable ethno-confessional communities.
