Police forces fired tear gas as scuffles and pockets of looting broke out on the Champs-Élysées as French football fans celebrate their side's spectacular World Cup victory over Croatia in Moscow today.

Revelers set off smoke bombs in the national colors - blue, white and red - obscuring Napoleon's triumphal arch.

People climbed atop every newspaper kiosk and bus stop in the area to wave flags and lead the crowds below in cheers. The national anthem, the Marseillaise, rang out, cars honked horns and cherry bombs cracks.
