The city opens a week of remembrance that blends public gestures with formal ceremonies.

Overview

  • Starting November 8, residents are asked to deposit a candle, a flower or a note at Place de la République as a commemorative gesture.
  • By late morning, candles and flowers were already placed beneath the statue of Marianne as a photo exhibition, “13 novembre 2015, Paris se souvient,” highlighted spontaneous memorials after the attacks that killed 130 people.
  • Supporters of Paris Saint‑Germain, including Ultras Paris, unfurled a “Fluctuat Nec Mergitur” banner at Place de la République and outside the Bataclan on Friday night.
  • A victims’ association event branded “13‑Unis” is set for Sunday, with a run from the Stade de France and a march from République converging at Paris City Hall.
  • On November 13, President Emmanuel Macron will pay respects at each attack site before inaugurating the 13‑November remembrance garden at Place Saint‑Gervais, with ceremonies broadcast on France Télévisions and TF1 and a live public screening at République.
