More than 120 people were killed in a series of attacks across the French capital.
This is how the events unfolded at six locations in Paris:
:: Restaurant And Bar - Shooting
Around 9.20pm local time on Friday, there were reports of a shooting at a restaurant on Rue Alibert in the 10th district.
At least 14 people were later confirmed dead in the rampage at Le Carillon, a bar-cafe, and the nearby Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge.

Witnesses said gunmen armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles fired at victims through the plate-glass windows.
:: Stade de France - Bombings
About five miles away from those attacks, blasts were heard near the stadium in the north of Paris around 9.30pm.
Police later confirmed there were three simultaneous bombings, including two suicide attacks, near the stadium as France played Germany in a friendly match.
French President Francois Hollande, who was at the game, left immediately.
A prosecutor said people there had been fatalities, but did not confirm the number. A police union official said three people had died.
The blasts occurred near two of the stadium entrances and at a nearby McDonald's restaurant.

Early reports suggested 15 people had been shot dead in the concert hall, where American band Eagles of Death Metal was due to play.
Dozens of hostages were taken inside the venue.
A short time later, security forces launched an assault on the theatre. The two attackers were killed after detonating explosive belts.
