Hi Val
There is no doubt of the numbers of Spaniards that flooded into southern France in their pursuit of safety and to start a new life. In fact, one very brave man who spoke Spanish and also worked in the Mairie in Cabrerets (Lot) forged many documents for them so they could settle somewhat easier. Knowing something of this family (Labrousse) it's hard to imagine he would have acted unlawfully if resettlement/assimilation was as easy as claimed. This fine man continued to offer assistance to others under duress by forging papers for Jews during WWII. He was himself sent off and perished in a concentration camp.
