Lambert has been reassuring supporters following the attacks on Friday (November 13), when 129 people were killed and 350 wounded during a series of incidents.

These included suicide bombers detonating devices outside the Stade de France, which is scheduled to host the final of the European Championship on July 10.  

Four people died in explosions near the stadium, while France were playing a friendly against Germany.

It is the second time this year that Paris has suffered attacks, following the murder of 18 people by Islamist gunmen who attacked the office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a Jewish supermarket and a policewoman on patrol across three days in January.

The Parc des Princes in Paris is also due to host matches during the tournament. 

"To ask questions about the cancellation of Euro 2016 is to play into the hands of the terrorists," Lambert told French broadcaster RTL.

"The risk level was up a notch in January, and it just got up a notch.

"We will take the necessary decisions for Euro 2016 to take place in the best safety conditions.

"I will not reveal what we are going to do because that would alert our opponents.

"The security in stadiums works well, the risk is more out in the streets, in spontaneous gatherings."

The Euro 2016 Organising Committee is set liaise with the French Government, police and all nine host cities over the coming week to determine what the increased terror levels will mean for the competition in practical terms.

"We will do whatever it takes to ensure security despite all the risks that entails," said French Football Federation President Noel Le Graet.

"I know everyone is vigiliant.

"Obviously this causes us to be even more vigilant.

"But it is a permanent situation for the Federation and the State."

European football’s governing body UEFA, whose Executive Committee is due to meet in Paris on December 10, has issued a statement expressing its support and solidarity to France following the attacks. 

The draw for Euro 2016 is due to take place in the French capital two days after the meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee as the 24 competing countries find out who they will be face in the group stages.

The Euro 2016 finals are due to be held at 10 venues across France from June 10.
