Callac, a 2,200-person town in rural Brittany, shows signs of decline. Some buildings have been empty for decades. Around half the remaining residents are retirees. The biggest employer is the nursing home. Initially, the town council was enthusiastic about a program that would recruit refugees to renovate buildings and fill much-needed jobs such as nurses’ aides and builders, while also helping them assimilate and learn the language. A deputy mayor said the program saw “refugees not as charity, but an opportunity.” But some residents saw the project as evidence of a “great replacement” of native French people, an idea that has caused anger and anxiety, particularly on the hard right.
