France honors the victims of a night of terror in Paris, 10 years on

Paris is marking the anniversary of a 2015 terror attack that killed more than 100 people with a sequence of tributes led by President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo at each attack site: the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, then the cafés and restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondissements, and finally the Bataclan, with a minute of silence before each memorial plaque.

Parents, partners and friends of victims will stand closest to the plaques, officials said.

At Place de la République, Parisians are invited to leave candles, flowers and notes at the foot of the statue of national symbol Marianne, as in 2015, and to follow the ceremonies on a giant screen.

Children are expected to come with parents to light candles and lay flowers — small, familiar gestures that turn the square into a place of shared memory.

The commemorations will culminate with the Jardin du 13-Novembre, a new memorial garden opposite City Hall. Conceived with victims’ associations, it bears the 132 names of those killed on granite stelae, with plantings that echo the attack sites and benches for reflection.

Designers added small signs of life — bird baths, nesting boxes, shade — for children at the request of families.

The Eiffel Tower was lit yesterday in the colors of the French flag after nightfall. The French soccer federation also observed a minute of silence and other tributes at France’s World Cup qualifier against Ukraine at the Parc des Princes.

On November 13, 2015, nine Islamic State group gunmen and suicide bombers struck within minutes of one another. Suicide bombers detonated outside the Stade de France; gunmen sprayed bullets across café terraces; and three attackers stormed the Bataclan at 9:47 p.m., killing 90 people before police ended the siege. Two survivors who later died by suicide have since been recognized among the victims.
