Paris emphasizes music‑led remembrance through a new memorial garden alongside open public gatherings.

Overview

  • The Élysée confirmed that President Emmanuel Macron will mark the 10th anniversary by stopping at the Stade de France, rue Faubourg‑du‑Temple, rue Alibert, rue de Charonne, boulevard Voltaire and the Bataclan to join families and victims’ associations.
  • A national ceremony is scheduled from 18:00 to 19:40 at place Saint‑Gervais, directed by Thierry Reboul with Thomas Jolly, featuring a music‑centered program and a requiem by Victor Le Masne.
