They asked people to make noise and shine lights at the exact moment the assaults began, 9.20pm local time, so that the terrorists “understand they have lost”.
Since the attacks, requests for information about joining the French army have surged.
Many placed candles among the flowers stacked outside the Paris attack sites, while others held hands and reflected on their city’s losses.
But France also appears to be forging an unexpected alliance with Russian Federation, which it has clashed with over the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, after both countries were targeted by the jihadists in deadly attacks.

Ahead of the extraordinary meeting of EU interior and justice ministers in Brussels, the bloc’s Home Affairs Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said the EU executive would propose a joint “European intelligence agency”.
The ministers also agreed on the “urgency and priority” to finalise an ambitious EU Passenger Name Record agreement before the end of 2015, which should include internal flights in its scope, provide for a sufficiently long data period during which PNR data can be retained in non-masked-out form and should not be limited to crimes of a transnational nature. That must be concluded. “He was with another guy, who never left us alone”, the father said.
The death of suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian national slain in a police assault on his hideout in a Paris suburb, is highlighting the EU’s problems in tracking jihadis’ movements as interior ministers gather in Brussels.
