The green army set up camp in Paris, Bordeaux, Lille and Lyon throughout the tournament, but it looks they the greatest impact was felt in the French capital.

According to the French newspaper L'Equipe, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo is to award the Medal of the City of Paris to the Irish fans for their "sportsmanship" throughout the tournament.
