Commemorative plaques and memorials to remember attacks
Memorials for terrorist attacks were relatively rare in the French urban landscape prior to 2015; just half a dozen plaques between 1974 and 2015. Plaques prior to 2015 covered large-scale attacks in particular:
- Synagogue on Rue Copernic, October 3, 1980, 4 dead and 46 wounded
- Goldenberg Restaurant, Rue des Rosiers, August 9, 1982, 6 dead and 22 wounded
- Rue de Rennes, September 17, 1986, 7 dead and 55 wounded
- RER Saint-Michel, July 25, 1995, 8 dead and 200 wounded
- RER Port-Royal, December 3, 1996, 4 dead and 91 wounded
The statue/fountain by the sculptor Nicolas Alquin, Parole portée à la mémoire des victimes du terrorisme, stands in the Jardin de l’Intendant on the grounds of the Hôtel national des Invalides. It was inaugurated on December 3, 1998, by President Jacques Chirac. Commemorative plaques for French victims of attacks abroad are arranged nearby.
