France to Mark 10 Years Since the 13‑November Attacks With State Ceremonies and a New Memorial Garden

The anniversary highlights a turn from mourning toward long‑term reckoning in courts, institutions and culture.

Overview

  • Paris has scheduled a full day of tributes on November 13, culminating with the inauguration of the 13‑November Memorial Garden opposite City Hall where Emmanuel Macron, Anne Hidalgo, Philippe Duperron and Arthur Dénouveaux are slated to speak.
  • The Élysée says the president will attend each commemoration at the Stade de France, the terraces in the 10th and 11th arrondissements and the Bataclan, with proceedings relayed on a giant screen at Place de la République and live on TF1 and France 2; the Eiffel Tower will be lit in blue‑white‑red.
  • Life for Paris will formally dissolve on November 13, a decision its president Arthur Dénouveaux frames as a way to avoid being locked into a permanent victim identity.
  • Broadcasters are rolling out extensive programming for the 10‑year mark, including specials on TF1 and France 2, W9’s Minute par minute, TMC’s 21h médias, France 2’s Le Choix de Sonia and Les Ricochets, and the series Des vivants on France Télévisions.
  • Judicial follow‑through linked to the 2015 network continues, with Maëva B., Salah Abdeslam’s former partner, placed under double indictment and jailed in probes over a USB drive and an alleged foiled jihadist plot, as studies and testimonies underscore lasting trauma for survivors and bereaved families.
