By comparing female and male migrations in nineteenth-century France, mobility appears to be a socially hierarchic process. More than by gender, migration flows are structured by social origins. Long-distance mobility is more related to urban or literate populations, meanwhile short-distance migrations are more common between the lower classes. In-between stand the sedentarity persons. This heterogeneity can also be seen among the reception-areas : urban settlement is a mixture between poor short-distance immigrants and socially favoured long-distance ones. Migration can not be described as a simple and homogenous process.
