Seeking Asylum in France


In the article of today we will discuss a topic that interests a large number of people, especially those who are living in countries that are not stable or safe. This topic is about seeking asylum in one of the largest countries in Europe, France. The latter has been a favorite destination for many asylum seekers, especially Syrians, who escape war in their countries. But what makes France attractive to those asylum seekers?

2- Socially speaking, France is considered the second favorite place for Arabs after Spain.

3- The spread of the French language in about one third of the countries in the world, makes it of benefit to the asylum seeker in France. On the contrary, languages such as Swedish or German are of no big benefit
