The French
president, schoolchildren, bystanders have held a minute of silence to
honour the 129 people killed in the country's worst attacks in decades
President Francois Hollande stood in a crowd of students from Paris' Sorbonne university, some with their heads bowed, others looking up defiantly
Crowds
gathered at a makeshift monument at Republique Plaza in a neighborhood
targeted by the attacks, where a banner reads "Can't Scare Us."
Schools and businesses across the country also held a moment of silence.
The worst terror attack in French history has stunned the capital, less than 11 months after jihadists struck satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket, killing 17.
Despite a state of emergency, schools were to reopen Monday morning with museums, theatres and other cultural centres following at 1:00 pm after being shut in the wake of the attacks.
