“ The French government and UEFA will be working with the German football team who will bring their own security detail .

We are in Evian , not a big town , so generally this area is very low risk .” For the Evian region , the feel good factor created by Euro 2016 is already starting to have an impact on its hospitality sector , and Le Hec believes it will leave a lasting legacy . “ It is fantastic for the region ’ s bars , hotels and restaurants and we hope that tourists will come back for many years to come after the event . We can see the impact with German tourists simply because the football team is staying here , and this should boost future business .”
