France Marks a Decade Since the Paris Attacks as Tributes Meet Delayed Memorial and Rising Youth Terror Cases

Security services say dozens of teenagers have been detained in 2025, with one probe citing AI use in attack planning.

Overview

  • Paris holds official 10‑year remembrances for the 2015 attacks that killed around 130 people, including a ceremony in the Garden of Remembrance behind City Hall on Place Saint‑Gervais.
  • Kylian Mbappé and the national team plan a pre‑match minute of silence at the Parc des Princes, a “Football for Peace” banner and Bleuet de France pins to honor victims.
  • French authorities report a surge in minor jihadist cases this year, with roughly 40 teens detained or charged and a 17‑year‑old arrested by PNAT after allegedly using ChatGPT to research an attack.
  • The national terrorism memorial museum has been scaled back to a former barracks site with a reduced budget and a target opening by early 2030.
  • Long‑term research under Programme 13‑Novembre continues to track about 1,000 victims, relatives, responders and witnesses, including repeated MRI studies of trauma and memory.
