PARIS, July 13 (Sputnik) - Around 110,000 policemen and gendarmes will provide security in France on the Bastille Day and on the day when France will play in the World Cup final, French media reported Friday citing French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb.
France's national day, the Bastille Day, falls on Saturday while Les Bleus will take on Croatia in the final in Moscow on Sunday.
"Everything is done so that the French could live these festive moments in serenity, despite the context of threat, which remains at a high level," Collomb told French radio station Europe 1.
The World Cup final will be broadcast live on 230 huge screens, which will be installed across France, with one of them being set up near the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will end on Sunday, with the final set to be held at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.
