A highly symbolic gathering! On November 13, 2025, from 6 PM to 8 PM, the City of Paris is organizing a memorial ceremony in honor of the victims of the 2015 attacks. The gathering will take place at Place Saint-Gervais, in the 4th arrondissement, where the Jardin du 13-Novembre-2015 will be inaugurated.
This new symbolic space will connect the six sites affected by the tragedy and will become a place of memory and life. The paths, inspired by the layouts of the impacted neighborhoods, evoke the wandering, the fleeing, and the waves of solidarity experienced that night. As night falls, the garden will be illuminated by a constellation of amber lights, recreating the celestial canopy of November 13, 2015.

A ceremony designed around the victims
Imagined by Thierry Reboul, executive director of the Ceremonies for Paris 2024, the evening will pay tribute to those who lost their lives that night. Music, especially the rock music beloved by several victims, will be at the heart of the ceremony. Victim associations, the mayor of Paris, and the President of the Republic will be present for a moment that is both sober, artistic, and deeply human.

A programmat...Special attention on France Télévisions
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the attacks, France Télévisions will dedicate an entire day to the memory of November 13. Throughout Thursday, November 13, 2025, the channels and platforms of the group will showcase documentaries, series, and testimonies about the victims, survivors, and witnesses of that tragic night.
Among the highlights, the series Des vivants by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade retraces the journey of several hostages from the Bataclan, bonded by a strong connection since their survival. The documentary November 13, our lives in pieces, aired on Infrarouge, is based on the extensive November 13 Program from CNRS and INSERM, which has been collecting witness accounts for ten years to build a vibrant collective memory.
