History
French seamen started fishing in the seas nearby Iceland in the 18th century. In the 1900s the French organization Société des hopitaux francais d´Islande built three hospitals in Iceland, one in Reykjavík, one in the Vestmann Islands and one in Fáskrúðsfjörður, East-Iceland. Of those three hospitals, the hospital in Fáskrúðsfjörður was rebuilt in 2009-2014. In 1955 an cemetery was built in Fáskrúðsfjörður for 49 French seamen.[3]
Trade and investment
In 2014, Iceland directly exported goods worth 12.7 billion ISK to France, making them the seventh export destination of Iceland.[4]
