Paris Files Complaint After 2015 Attack Memorial Garden Is Vandalized

City officials say video surveillance could help identify those responsible.

Overview

  • The garden, which was damaged overnight Tuesday to Wednesday, saw about ten standing lanterns knocked over and paper litter spread across the site.
  • City Hall filed a formal complaint after staff discovered the degradations at the Jardin mémoriel du 13-Novembre in central Paris.
  • Officials said surveillance footage could help the Préfecture de police find the culprits as an investigation moves forward.
  • Paris Centre mayor Ariel Weil and 11th arrondissement mayor David Belliard condemned the act, with Belliard thanking municipal crews for quick repairs.
  • No arrests have been announced, and the site—opened on November 13, 2025 for the attacks’ tenth anniversary—carries strong symbolic weight for families and the city.
