Overview
- President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to honor each attack site in Paris and Saint-Denis before inaugurating the Jardin du 13 novembre 2015 this evening, with the ceremony broadcast live and relayed on a giant screen at Place de la République.
- Authorities mounted reinforced security for the commemorations and the France–Ukraine match at the Parc des Princes, where roughly 500 officers are deployed and spectators face strengthened checks including searches and expanded perimeters.
- The football match will include tributes such as a minute of silence, a “Football for Peace” banner and Bleuet de France insignia, with invited guests including François Hollande, Bernard Cazeneuve and security guard Salim Toorabally.
- Life for Paris said it will dissolve after the memorial garden’s inauguration, while 13onze15 welcomed the day as an act of resilience; the new garden features stone steles and granite blocks evoking the geography of the six attack sites.
- A decade on, polling by Ifop and the Fondation Jean‑Jaurès shows strong public support for commemorations and vivid memories of the night, as the legal legacy endures with the V13 convictions, including Salah Abdeslam’s life term and a reported move toward restorative justice dialogues.
