Swastikas and anti-Semite phrases have been spray painted across a Jewish cemetery in France just hours before marches condemning anti-Semitism occurred across the country.

French President Emmanuel Macron visited the cemetery in Quatzenheim, near Strasbourg, where 90 graves in all were desecrated, saying it was important to be there in support of the community.

There were 541 anti-Semitic incidents in France last year, up 311% from 2017.
