How has France changed one year on from the Paris attacks?

A year on as Paris remembers the 130 people who died, and the more than 350 who were injured, in coordinated terrorist attacks across the city, we’d like you to tell us how France has changed.

On Friday 13 November 2015, Paris suffered the worst terrorist attack in Europe since the Madrid train bombings of 2004, in which 191 people died. A group of attackers launched a devastating series of coordinated shootings and explosions at six locations – including a concert hall, a major stadium, restaurants and bars – almost simultaneously across the French capital.

The country has remained under a state of emergency, with an extension agreed until the end of January 2017. The emergency measures give the police extra powers to carry out searches and to place people under house arrest.

If you live in France, we’d like you to tell us what it’s like living in the country. Share your experiences, thoughts, and hopes for the country and we’ll use a selection in our reporting.
