Armed police and soldiers are set to protect holidaymakers visiting France this summer amid fears terrorists could try to strike the tourist industry.
Britons visiting the country will see increased security at beaches, festivals and fairs as well as at stations and airports.
The extra protection comes after intelligence agencies expressed concern that Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) terrorists could make tourists their next target, The Times reported.
New rules banning backpacks on some French beaches have also been introduced as part of an increase in security measures after a series of terror attacks in the country – including the Bastille Day massacre in Nice in which 84 people died earlier this month and the murder of a priest in his Normandy church on Tuesday.
