France Marks 10 Years Since Paris Attacks With New Memorial as Prosecutors Charge Abdeslam’s Former Partner

Macron leads site-by-site tributes, with the national team set to observe a pre‑match silence in Paris.

Overview

  • Ceremonies in Paris include wreath‑laying at each attack site and the unveiling of the Jardin du 13‑Novembre, where granite stelae carry the 132 names of those commemorated.
  • The Eiffel Tower will be lit in France’s colors, and a minute of silence is planned before France’s World Cup qualifier against Ukraine at the Parc des Princes.
  • Anti‑terror prosecutors say Maëva B, a former partner of Salah Abdeslam, has been arrested and charged in an ongoing probe into an alleged jihadist plot.
  • Salah Abdeslam, the lone surviving attacker, is serving life in prison after the 2021–2022 terrorism trial, and his lawyer says he is open to possible restorative‑justice discussions with victims.
  • The November 2015 Islamic State attacks killed 130 people at the Bataclan, cafés and restaurants, and near the Stade de France, with survivors and families describing lasting physical and psychological trauma.
