French population and Georgian refugees used to live together for decades. French Senat, Department of Essonne, Canton of Arpajon, town of Leuville-sur-Orge and local population have sought to revive their history after Georgian president Eduard Shevardnadze visits them and before president Mikheil Saakashvili and Giorgi Margvelashvili do it.
