The war in Ukraine caused the departure of at least five million people.
France hosts about 100,000. This week, we went to meet the refugees or those who rub shoulders with them.
We saw that it sometimes went very well, that it was sometimes hard in the long term.
We spoke to Ukrainian athletes and artists.
Last episode today, with those who decide to return to their country of origin.

We followed Marta Tsurkan when she arrived in France more than four months ago, then a month later.
Recently, she returned to Lviv, Ukraine, to join her husband who remained there.
We followed his final preparations before his return to a country at war.
Report in the West of France, in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie.
