French police have removed nearly a thousand migrants from illegal camps in the centre of Paris - despite 100 more arriving to the capital every day.

The 8-900 people were boarded onto police buses before being taken to official camps to the east of the city.

In May, the city's mayor Anne Hidalgo announced plans to create a refugee camp with proper facilities, scheduled to be up and running in September.

Journalists and activists at the scene described the evacuation as peaceful, but decried the concentration of people in Paris and Calais as a 'mess'.

Previous evacuations have led to violent clashes with police who have fired tear gas into the crowds of migrants.

One activist told AFP, 'Paris is a hub, a transit place for those heading north and those going south - those who are leaving and those who are arriving. It's a complete mess that's absolutely impossible to manage under the conditions that exist today.'

Yan Drouet, a Senior Paris police official at the evacuation said there have been 25 large scale evacuations since June 2015 which have allowed authorities to address the situation of 15,000 migrants.

'Eight to nine hundred migrants who were in the Jemmapes platform of the Stalingrad Place and the Flandres Avenue were evacuated from 7am this morning,' he said.

'Every migrant will get a review of their administrative situation which will allow us to determine the best course of action depending on their situation,' he told journalists today.

Police need to determine whether the migrants are asylum seekers, weather they have applied for asylum and been rejected or if they have already applied in different countries.
