Violence has broken out between England fans, rival supporters and police for the last three days in the port city.
There were also clashes in the stadium following England’s 1-1 Euro 2016 draw with Russia, after Russia fans appeared to rush at England supporters.
French police said one Briton had been seriously hurt in the earlier clashes.
Witnesses said trouble began in the stadium after flares were let off by Russian fans near the end of the game. Some fans then climbed across barriers designed to keep rival fans apart.

Russia’s Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said on Sunday: “We will have a fine from Uefa, so I understand. We behaved incorrectly,” R-Sport news agency reported.
But he added there were “many nuances” to what happened, and Russian officials would investigate.
Ned Ozkasim, from London, who was in the stadium, told the BBC: “There was a large explosion, and after the Russian goal they started invading the area where some England fans were.
“I didn’t see any retaliation from the England fans – they were just trying to get away. There were no riot police at the grounds as we expected. There were just stewards in hi-vis, and they just let it happen.”
