LONDON, Dec 3 (Reuters) - European shares are expected to pause for breath in early trade on Friday after strong gains in the past two sessions, with investors waiting for widely-watched U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for near-term market direction. Financial spreadbetters expected Britain's FTSE 100 to open 1 to 3 points higher, Germany's DAX to open 2 to 3 points firmer and France's CAC-40 to open 9 to 10 points higher.
