While it might not be on the same scale as the Argentina celebrations in Buenos Aires, France did receive a warm welcome on their return from Qatar.
Despite arriving back without the World Cup trophy, fans flocked to the Crillon Hotel on the Place de la Concorde in Paris to show the team how proud they were.

Argentina arrive in Buenos Aires after winning the 2022 World Cup
Just a reminder that the Argentina team landed in Buenos Aires at 02:24 local time (05:24 GMT) and will be celebrating with fans at the capital city's Obelisk monument at midday (15:00 GMT).
What is it Rudyard Kipling wrote? - "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs."
The party in Buenos Aires could have ended before it even got going after this close shave for the Argentina players perched on the back of the team bus, which picked them up from the airport...

Right, I think we should revisit the World Cup again.
Throughout the day we will be dropping in on the scenes in Buenos Aires as the Argentine people prepare to celebrate along with their heroes.
We will also be assessing what the World Cup means for each top-flight club back here in England, which stars of the tournament are heading in or out of the Premier League and how your club might be able to hold on to their prized assets.
As always, you are welcome to get involved in the debate by using #bbcfootball on Twitter or by sending a text to 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply).

MK Dons v Leicester (19:45 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Leicester City winger Matt Piper believes there is "a lot more to come" from Patson Daka.
Daka, 24, has three Premier League goals in 14 appearances this season, just two fewer than he managed in the whole of the previous campaign.
"The first part of the season I think he's done really well," Piper told the When You're Smiling podcast.
"When we think back to last season when he was introduced, the pitch time he got, you can see there's a real player in there. It will take him a little time to settle into the pace of the Premier League.
"I like his movement, it obviously reminds me of Vardy and I think he can learn a lot off Vardy. I think he's said he watches him a lot. He can finish.
"I think there's a lot more to come from him.
"It's not going to happen overnight but I think what we have seen early this season has been encouraging. He has to keep his head down and keep working, which he will do as he comes across as that sort of character.
"It would be nice over the next five or six games if he hits the net a bit as it will take his confidence to the next level."

Newcastle v Bournemouth (19:45 GMT)
Newcastle United
Image source, Getty ImagesAllan Saint-Maximin's role in the Newcastle team will continue to divide people, according to former Magpies defender John Anderson.
Speaking on BBC Radio Newcastle's Total Sport Newcastle United podcast, Anderson said the France forward's talent is undeniable, but he faces a battle to get into Eddie Howe's first-choice XI.
"We all know the quality he has got," said Anderson. "He can dig you out of holes and you saw it against Manchester City and then against Wolves when he was having a very quiet game.
"But to become a key player again, he has to get back into the team first. They have coped really well while he has been injured and the structure is there for all to see.
"It's an interesting one and one that will divide people I am sure."
BBC Radio Newcastle commentator Matthew Raisbeck agreed, saying other players had stepped up during Saint-Maximin's injury.
"They are about more than just Saint-Maximin these days," said Raisbeck. "They are getting goals from other sources, notably from Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson and Bruno Guimaraes.
"But then I think it's really exciting for Newcastle to be going into the second half of the season with him and Alexander Isak both back from injury."
Newcastle v Bournemouth (19:45 GMT)
Newcastle United
More from Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on returning to action after going into the World Cup break on the back of six consecutive victories: "It's important to re-establish our momentum back to where we finished against Chelsea [before the World Cup break].
"We want to get back there as quickly as we can. It's [the EFL cup tie against Bournemouth] the first step to trying to re-find our form.
"We are keen to get back to competitive games. Speaking to those who have come back from the World Cup, the lads are keen to get our season started again, which is important for me to hear.
"I hope we can get our rhythm back quickly, get the feeling back. I want the positive feeling to remain."
Newcastle v Bournemouth (19:45 GMT)
Newcastle United
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on the availability of his World Cup players, speaking ahead of tonight's EFL Cup fourth-round tie at home to Bournemouth.
England duo Nick Pope and Kieran Trippier both played in Saturday's 2-1 friendly win over Rayo Vallecano, but compatriot Callum Wilson, as well as Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and Switzerland's Fabian Schar, sat out on their return from Qatar.
Howe was asked if they could feature against Bournemouth: "We'll wait and see. I spoke with all the international lads when they came back, obviously Kieran and Nick were very keen to play in the game.
"Those conversations are important because those boys have had not just the physical load from being at the World Cup, but the mental side of it can't be under-estimated, so I'll continue those conversations with the other lads and we'll see where we are."
Southampton v Lincoln City (19:45 GMT)
Southampton
More from Southampton boss Nathan Jones on his longer-term vision for the side: "It’s a hungry group and a group that wants to get better and that’s the best thing a manager can have.
"It's up to me and my staff now to make sure they do get better. I'm excited but I want to take little steps quickly and hopefully we will see some seeds of that tomorrow.
"I want us to be the best versions of ourselves and if we are the best versions of ourselves we will be fine this season and that is the point I want to get to."
Southampton v Lincoln city (19:45 GMT)
Southampton
Image source, Getty ImagesSouthampton boss Nathan Jones expects it to take time for his squad to play the way he wants, but he hopes tonight's game against Lincoln can be a starting point.
The Carabao Cup game will be Jones' first at St Mary's and the Welshman has every intention of progressing to the quarter-final.
"I’ve always treated every competition with the greatest respect and we will do that here," he said in his Monday news conference.
"It’s a game players will want to win and it’s a chance to get into the quarter-final which is never to be sniffed at. We will have one eye on Brighton but we want to win the game.
"It’s a big week but it’s a chance to win a football game. It will take time to play how I want but we are getting there. I hope to see a starting point tomorrow. The important thing is that we take a positive step tomorrow."
As well as Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui, we have also been hearing from the Newcastle and Southampton camps ahead of tonight's EFL Cup ties.
Let's have a look at what their respective managers had to say.
Wolves

Wolves v Gillingham (19:45GMT)

BBC Sport
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves boss Julen Lopetegui was a bit vague yesterday as he discussed Raul Jimenez.
The Mexican has been linked with a move to Major League Soccer but Lopetegui wasn't up for talking about whether Jimenez had a future at Molineux.
Yet, even in stressing he wants to concentrate on the matches in front of his side, Lopetegui didn't give a clear indication of Jimenez's likely involvement.
“Raul is working in the right direction but he has to improve a lot more to be ready to start with us,” he said.
It is assumed Jimenez will be on the bench for the EFL Cup tie with Gillingham.
