Synopsis: In 1919, France and Poland sign an agreement which immediately trigger a significant recruitment of Polish labor destined for one of the sectors then most affected by the French economy: the exploitation of coal. The Poles emigrate massively in the mining cities of North and Pas-de-Calais. In 1931, they reached the number of about 205,000 people in these two regions. Since then, they have become one of the cultural, social and identity local components. Was their installation in France as simple as legend has it?
