description This paper concerns the old migrants who came in France in the Thirty Glorious Ones and who are living apart from the others citizen seniors. It relies on two sociologic studies. The first have been realised in Nantes for a Regional program for insertion of migrant population. For this study, I make interviews with old migrants and professionals who work with them (docs, social workers, professional of home help…). I complete this study with others interviews of old migrants who live in le Mans, and with the director of workers’ dwelling. Those migrants, when their family isn’t in France, often live in workers’ dwelling. Lodgings have been constructed at first at seventeen for migrant workers. They had to be temporary. So, they are inappropriate for the people who stay in durably, especially when those people are old. Then, why senior migrants are living there ? In Nantes, there is four workers’ dwelling. Two have been recently renovated, always for being temporary lodgings. Even, rooms are consistently reserved for senior migrants. I make the same observation in Le Mans. Why aren’t they been housed in old people’s homes? This paper analysed this situation, by two different means. In a first time, the old migrants’ resistances are analysed. Their migration trajectories and the fear of uprooting explain their comportments. In a second time, the resistances of manager of old people’s homes are observed. Even they’re old, the migrants are victims of culturalist prejudices.
