"Ten years ago, our city was brutally plunged into mourning by the death of 130 innocent people. For many of us, the memory of November 13, 2015, is still today that of a long night of anguish" and "of our shock at the intensity of evil," wrote the Archbishop of Paris, Laurent Ulrich,in a message addressed to Parisians.
