France on Thursday faced the first major security challenge of Euro 2016 with a giant concert at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, where visitors were greeted by piles of uncollected rubbish. Superstar French DJ David Guetta will perform in the 90,000-capacity fan zone, a day before hosts France face Romania in the opening match at the capital's Stade de France. The concert will be the first test of the massive security operation to guard a tournament that is taking place just seven months after a jihadist attack in Paris that killed 130 people.
