Abstract
This article focuses on France and China, exploring the intersections of the Francosphere with other cultures, languages, and histories. It includes a case study on the deployment of Chinese workers at the Front in the First World War, a largely unexplored historical phenomenon, which considers the powerful repercussions in France and China of this mass movement of people (and its afterlives, both physical and memorial). The article concludes with a reflection on the lieux de memoire in France relating to these Chinese workers, and on the importance of such sites within the concept of the Francosphere.
