| Roy Hodgson and his England side will be based in the small northern France town of Chantilly |
ENGLAND are set to be based in the small northern France town of Chantilly after securing qualification for Euro 2016.
Roy Hodgson's squad will stay at the five-star Auberge du Jeu de Paume Chantilly, a luxury hotel boasting 92 rooms and suites which can cost 700 Euros a night, two restaurants, the two-star Michelin chef Arnaud Faye and an extensive spa and gym.
It is close to the Chateau de Chantilly and the famous racecourse.
The Football Association had considered one of the three venues around Montpellier on the south coast, or another in Brittany, but have now opted for Chantilly.
It is about 30 miles north of Paris and therefore close to the Stade de France or Parc des Princes and other venues such as Lille and Lens.
England would train at the nearby Stade des Bourgognes, which has six football pitches and is home to the local amateur side, U.S. de Chantilly.
