France Marks 10 Years Since Devastating November 13 Attacks
Ten years ago, on November 13, 2015, bad people attacked Paris.
They went to a music concert called the Bataclan and hurt many people, killing 90.
There were other attacks too, making the total number of people who died 130.
It was very scary and sad for France.
Some people who were there still have trouble going to crowded places or hearing loud noises because it reminds them of the bad night.
One person remembers losing a friend who tried to protect others.
The government declared a state of emergency to help keep people safe.
Even after ten years, the memories are still strong for many, and France continues to remember those who were lost.
