Thousands of Parisans have paid tribute to those who were killed in last week's attacks by packing the streets in a defiant response to ISIS and terrorism.
Some lit candles and sang and some danced in the streets. Others held hands in silent at the Place de la Republique, which has become a central commemoration site for the victims of the massacre.
The scenes were repeated at the cafes and the Bataclan theatre, where most of the 130 people who died lost their lives.

The attacks, claimed by militants from Islamic State, started shortly before 9.20pm as Parisians enjoyed a Friday night out.
Bouquets were laid at the Place de la Republique, lit by the flames of hundreds of candles, and in Parisian style people opened bottles of wine on the street to toast those who died in the massacres.
At the cafe La Belle Equipe, where one of the gun attacks took place, mourners broke into a round of applause at a memorial for the victims.
Elsewhere around Paris landmarks including the French parliament and Eiffel Tower, were illuminated in the red, white and blue of the Tricolor.

Crowds gathered outside the Bataclan - the scene of the most deadly attack - to light candles and stand in solidarity with the families who lost loved ones.
Parisians, including a young boy, took turns playing a piano, and sang and cheered at 9.20pm tonight - the exact time of the attacks last week.
Other laid flowers and lit candles at the vast memorial in front of the building.
Cristina Ruiz, 29, told MailOnline: 'I live very close and I was cycling when I heard the noises (shots last Friday). I was a few blocks away when it happened.
'I wanted to be here. We shouldn't be scared. It could have been any of us but we are still going out and living our normal lives. It feels comforting to know people are still going out.'
Earlier today, France's Senate has voted to extend a state of emergency for three months after last week's deadly attacks

Virginia Renaud, 46, said: 'I wanted to be with the victims' families and to show we support them.'
Nathalie Menant, 50, added: 'We have so much pain, we are hurt. Being together is a way to make it better.'
At football matches across France, the French national anthem was played in tribute before the games - something which the English Premier League will do this weekend.
'I'm still reeling, because these are the neighborhoods where we young people go out a lot, places we know well,' said student Sophie Garcon as she looked at tributes left outside the Le Carillon bar, where gunmen sprayed automatic weapons fire.

But despite the defiance, fear remains in the air as politicians and intelligence services desperately try to bolster security measures across Europe.
Earlier today, France's Senate has voted to extend a state of emergency for three months after last week's deadly attacks.
This expands police powers to carry out arrests and searches and allows authorities to forbid the movement of persons and vehicles at specific times and places.
France's lower chamber has already approved the measure.

Today a third body was discovered in the wreckage of the flat in a northern Paris suburb where the suspected mastermind behind the attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, died in a shoot-out with police on Wednesday.
The three dead included Abaaoud and his female cousin Hasna Aitboulahcen, 26, but the third person's identity and gender is yet to be ascertained.
It was initially thought that Aitboulahcen blew herself up during the gunfight, but Paris prosecutors have confirmed she was killed in the police raid but was not a suicide bomber.
Amid the widespread tightening of security, European Union interior ministers have agreed to draw up plans for the 'systematic control' of all people entering the bloc after it was disclosed that Belgium-born Abaaoud was able to slip into the country undetected.
French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the measure - which would affect everyone crossing the external borders of the travel-free Schengen zone - represented a 'crucial' change.
