Overview
- President Emmanuel Macron and Mayor Anne Hidalgo honored victims at each attack site before inaugurating the Jardin du 13‑Novembre, a new memorial listing 132 names, with church bells and the Eiffel Tower lighting closing the day.
- French authorities have opened a judicial investigation into Maëva B., a 27-year-old former partner of Salah Abdeslam, on suspicion of planning an attack after a jihadist USB used by Abdeslam was traced to meetings with her, with two suspected accomplices also under inquiry.
- Salah Abdeslam, serving life without parole after the 2021–22 trial, has expressed through his lawyer a willingness to join restorative justice meetings with victims, a proposal welcomed by some survivors and rejected by others and by security officials.
- Security services and experts report the primary risk now comes from lone, increasingly young individuals radicalized online, with several plots disrupted this year even as large, externally directed operations are seen as less likely.
- A national Museum‑Memorial of Terrorism is planned for 2029, with families contributing artifacts to preserve the history and educate future generations about the attacks.
