So London is home to 190,000 French expatriates...

How many French expatriates in the UK total?
How many UK expatriates is Paris home to?
How many UK expatriates in France in total?

I can't find any of these figures in 5 mins of googling, which doubtless explains why Bloomberg didn't mention them either...

Still, the figures I've heard in the past suggest the traffic each way rather evens out...

I don't know the answers either but I betcha there's way more brits in France than vice versa.

The French are welcome to join our rat-race, many of us are opting out.

According to the French National Institute of Statistics, in 2004-2005, there were 120 000 residents from UK in France.

Any idea where Bloomberg gets that 190.000 figure and how reliable it is? Unlike most European countries,  I don't think that EU citizens need to register in the UK or get a residence permit.  I couldn't find anything on the web about it (though I did find an article on retirement in The Times where they suddenly discover that taxes can be lower in France...)
