Paris Marks 10 Years Since the 2015 Attacks With Citywide Tributes and a New Memorial

Officials use the anniversary to stress that the Islamic State’s dispersed network still poses a global risk.

Overview

  • President Emmanuel Macron, Mayor Anne Hidalgo and victims’ groups are inaugurating the Jardin du 13 novembre 2015 near the Hôtel de Ville.
  • A rolling tribute will visit the Stade de France, targeted cafés and the Bataclan, with a public broadcast in Place de la République inviting candles, flowers or notes.
  • The Eiffel Tower is scheduled to shine in the tricolour, and Notre-Dame and other churches will ring evening bells in remembrance.
  • The victims’ association Life for Paris is formally dissolving on the tenth anniversary, a choice leaders say avoids fixing members in a permanent victim status.
  • Security and military updates note ISIS remains adaptive worldwide, with U.S. CENTCOM reporting more than 20 recent partner raids in Syria that killed or captured 24 militants.
