Abstract
Abstract The 100-year migration between Barcelonnette, in the French Alps, and Mexico that began in the first decades of the 19th century has been widely studied; however, several aspects were eft aside. Thanks to a digital ethnography carried out with descendants of migrants between 2020 and 2022, this article puts forward the role of women as a pillar in the transmission of languages in this specific transnational migratory case. Some factors are presented, such as the kind of marriage, intentions, links with the community, and place of residence. All of them led to the preservation or loss of French among the descendants of barcelonnettes born in Mexico.
