PARIS - Church bells echoed throughout Paris on Thursday night as the city paused to remember the victims of the November 13, 2015, terrorist attacks — one of the deadliest nights in modern French history.

Footage captured by Luc Auffret shows the silhouette of Notre Dame Cathedral illuminated in the evening as bells were in unison with churches across the capital. According to France24, every parish in Paris joined the tribute.

The backstory:

The ceremony marked 10 years since ISIS attacks struck the Stade de France, the Bataclan concert hall and several cafés and restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondissements.

Thursday’s ringing served as both a remembrance and a reminder of Paris’s resilience — a city united in honoring those who were lost and the many lives forever changed.
