France on Thursday (November 13) will mark a decade since a string of coordinated attacks across Paris killed a total of 130 people and traumatised an entire nation.

The attacks were the deadliest on France since World War Two. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, having urged followers to attack France over its involvement in the fight against the militant group in Iraq and Syria.

Salah Abdeslam, who is believed to be the only surviving member of the group that carried out the attacks, was found guilty of terrorism and murder charges by a criminal court in 2022 and sentenced to life in prison.

A further 19 men were found guilty for helping organise the Nov. 13, 2015 attacks that targeted the Bataclan music hall, bars and restaurants and the Stade de France sports stadium.

A period of national mourning followed the attacks, with mourners visiting the sites such as the Bataclan and some bistros and cafes, offering flowers, candles and heartfelt messages.

The slogan 'fluctuat nec mergitur', associated with the city of Paris, appeared on the Eiffel Tower and in several places. It means "it is battered by the waves, but does not sink."

Commemoration ceremonies will take place on Thursday in all the sites where militants killed civilians. A memorial garden will also be inaugurated near the Paris city hall.
