Hungary's UEFA EURO 2016 squad landed at Nice airport today to a warm, low-key reception amid high temperatures.
Regional government representative François-Xavier Lauch led the local welcoming party which met Hungarian head of delegation Márton Vági and coach Bernd Storck as they stepped off the plane first.
The players followed them onto the tarmac before everyone posed for group photographs and a smiling squad boarded a team bus adorned with Hungary's official tournament chant 'Ria, Ria, Hungaria!'.
They then set off for their first hotel in Moussong, near Cannes, where they will stay until Friday, when they move to their headquarters for the rest of the tournament in Montauroux.
Storck is wasting no time in getting down to work. He has arranged a training session for this evening despite Hungary's Group F opener against Austria in Bordeaux still being a week away.
"We are very happy that we are here, that we could be here, and we are very excited," Storck told Hungarian broadcaster M4 Sport. "We have training at six o'clock and tomorrow we have a lot of things to do. We have to prepare the team for Austria and we will train a lot."
