00:00Hundreds of Parisians gathered here at the Place of the République in central Paris where I am currently standing this Thursday night with flowers, candles in hand to remember the 132 people who were killed during the November 13th Paris terrorist attacks 10 years ago.

00:21Earlier, the days' ceremonies were somber with French President Emmanuel Macron along with his wife Brigitte and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo paying tribute alongside former leaders, survivors and families of the victims at the different attack sites through the city, from the cafes to the terraces, the Bataclan concert hall and the Stade de France.

00:45At each site, names of the victims were read aloud in quiet reflection, honouring those who were lost.

00:54The evening ceremony that started at 6pm, however, was deeply moving, culminating in the inauguration of the November 13th Memory Garden opposite the Paris City Hall.

01:06And Thursday night, the Eiffel Tower lit up once again in blue, white and red, the colours of the French flag.

01:13Church bells, including those of Notre-Dame, rang across the city, echoing through a Paris that still bears the scars of the attack, but has never lost its light.

01:26Sofia Katsenkova, reporting from Paris for Euronews.
