Summary/Abstract: The author provides a bibliographic review of the studies on the Turkish immigrant community in France which is the second destination for Turkish immigrants in Europe after Germany. In France the literature concerning them appeared much later due to their late arrival to the country. At the beginning the Turkish communities are mostly discussed for the big cities in France and primarily in comparison with other immigrant communities. Since the 90’s of the XX century the Turkish immigrant community is already at the centre of research done by scholars from different social sciences – sociologists, historians, demographers, anthropologists. They focused on the main problems related to the ethnic, cultural and linguistic characteristics which distinguish immigrants from host societies. An object of study are also the changes taking place in the Turkish immigrant families in immigration context, identity formation of the second and third generation of this community, the role of individual members of the Turkish families in the process of their integration into the host society.
