We're not here to take part, and all that.

Irish fans have been flooding into the French capital ahead of Monday night's Group E opener against Sweden, and Sportsfile are on site - cameras in hand - to encapsulate some of the incredible atmosphere both sets of supporters have been generating.

Shoes have been gratuitously swung around heads, pints have been sunk, and traffic in certain areas of Paris has come to a standstill thanks to some typical hijinks - although even the local commuters seem to be content in absorbing the sea of singing Irish men and women that has greeted them on their travels through the city.

Paris is green.

As you can probably detect from some of the above images, it seems Irish fans have enforced the opposite of breathalyser tests; should you be driving a vehicle and stopped, you will in all likelihood have beer shoved down your throat.

Sure look, once nobody's over the limit...

Cheers to David Glynn, who sent the video to The Balls.ie Euro 2016 Facebook Group, which we would highly recommend you join.
