Fans dressed as baguette-wielding roosters, the Queen and matadors root for their teams in fan zones and stadiums

Flags, face paints and football shirts can be spotted in cities and stadiums across France.

Other French fans opted for the more traditional baguette to cheer on Les Bleus, brilliant if they needed something to nibble on in those tense last few minutes before Payet's winner.
