Overview
- President Emmanuel Macron visited every attack site and presided over the inauguration of the November 13 Memory Garden near City Hall, as bells tolled and monuments including the Eiffel Tower were illuminated.
- The coordinated assaults killed 130 people at the Stade de France, cafés and the Bataclan, with two survivors later recognized as victims after dying by suicide, bringing the toll to 132.
- Salah Abdeslam, the lone surviving member of the cell, remains imprisoned for life without parole, and his lawyer says he is open to restorative‑justice meetings with victims.
- Anti‑terrorism prosecutors this week launched a probe into Abdeslam’s former partner, who was arrested and charged over an alleged plot, with the investigation ongoing.
- Security officials say a repeat of a large coordinated operation is less likely now, but warn of a very high threat from self‑radicalized individuals, as France advances plans for a Terrorism Memorial Museum opening in 2029.
