I doubt if there are many French in Mexico. You can read about the French "interventions" in Mexico.

Yes, the French did venture to Mexico along with the Spanish during the colonial era. In the early 16th century, Spanish conquistadors, led by Hernán Cortés, arrived in Mexico and eventually conquered the Aztec Empire. However, it was not until the 19th century that the French became more involved in Mexico.
In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain. Throughout the 19th century, Mexico experienced political instability, which led to a series of conflicts and revolutions. In the 1860s, Napoleon III, the French emperor, sought to establish a French presence in Mexico as part of his goal to expand French influence in the Americas and create a Mexican empire.
To gain control over Mexico, the French army, under General Charles de Lorencez, was sent to Mexico in 1862 and clashed with the Mexican army at the Battle of Puebla. Despite initial victories, the French faced strong resistance and were unable to fully achieve their objectives. This battle is now commemorated as Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) in Mexico.
However, the French returned with a much larger force under General Élie-Frédéric Forey and successfully occupied Mexico City in 1863. They established the Second Mexican Empire and appointed Maximilian I, an Austrian archduke, as the puppet emperor. The French presence in Mexico lasted until 1867 when Mexican republican forces, led by President Benito Juárez, successfully expelled the French and executed Maximilian I.
If you are looking for more details or historical records about the French presence in Mexico, it would be helpful to consult historical texts, academic articles, or visit libraries that specialize in Mexican or French history.
