Only one newspaper, La Provence, makes the events of Sunday night a front-page story: "The hooligans have gone crazy." is the banner headline.

A few blocks from the old port area, the focus of the trouble, Tunisians sitting outside cafes confirm that the fighting was a result of a minority of English fans. They told me their impression of English supporters, "friendly and kind", although adding "they do drink a lot of beer".

Many bars ran dry of beer. What I saw of Sunday evening's violence was that it was fuelled by drink. A day long binge and the English habit of entirely taking over bars created tight knots of volatility.

One man, who claimed to be a Millwall fan, threw money at bar staff as he ordered champagne. He could barely stand but his unpredictable behaviour created an atmosphere of fear among his hosts.

Today, the Tunisian fans seem happy to mingle with the English. They sing, dance, blow horns, much as fans of any other country do. But while they order breakfast coffee in the morning sun, the English have started drinking again.
