Paris honours attack victims with vigils, lights, 10 years on
Paris is marking 10 years since the Islamic State attacks that killed 130 people after gunmen and suicide bombers targeted cafés, restaurants and the Bataclan concert hall. People gathered at Place de la République for a candlelight vigil on the eve of the anniversary on Wednesday, and French President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo were among those paying tribute at the attack sites on Thursday.
Ten years ago, Islamists killed 130 people in Paris. Ten years later, the victims were remembered in the capital. Macron spoke of an "attack to France".
Ten years after the attacks on 13 November, France paid a national tribute to the victims on Thursday, where the names of the 132 dead were grenched, after sober commemorations in front of the Stade de France, the bereaved Parisian terraces and the concert hall of the Bataclan, places of the macabre odyssey of the jihadist commandos.
