African migrants were forced to live on the streets in the world renowned city of romance - turning one area from a perfectly Parisian road, into Calais-like mess.

An anonymous Frenchman wearing a hidden camera recorded the aftermath of a raid on a migrant camp on Avenue de Flandre, near the Stalingrad Metro Station, in the north of the French capital.

According to those who filmed it there were "tens of thousands" in the area.

They also accused the migrants of urinating and defecating in the street.

Police officers in full riot gear forced the migrants on to buses - and all that was left was streets filled with mattresses and rubbish.
