France is marking the tenth anniversary of coordinated attacks that killed 130 people in Paris, including mass shootings and suicide bombings at cafés, restaurants and the Bataclan concert hall. The assaults were carried out by Islamic State gunmen and suicide bombers and became the deadliest on French soil since World War II. The events deeply scarred the national psyche and led to emergency security measures, many later codified into law. Commemorative gestures include lighting the Eiffel Tower in the colours of the French flag. The observances underscore enduring public grief and lasting security changes.
