England will base themselves in the French town of Chantilly on the outskirts of Paris at Euro 2016.

Two days after England secured qualification to the European Championship, the Football Association confirmed the team will be based at the exclusive Auberge du Jeu de Paume hotel during the tournament.

Roy Hodgson's squad will train at the training ground for local amateur club US Chantilly.

The training ground currently only has basic facilities so it will be renovated prior to the tournament.

Chantilly, which has a population of 11,000, is around 35 miles away from the centre of the French capital.

England will find out who they will face at the tournament on December 12 when the group stage draw is made in Paris.
