![Ten years after the attacks of November 13, 2015, Paris opens a memorial garden on Saint-Gervais Square at the back of city hall. A symbol of a will to commemorate, it also highlights the memory lapse surrounding the dozens of attacks that have struck the capital in half a century.

Since 1974, almost 150 terrorist attacks have either taken place in or departed from Paris. The sinister list includes the attacks against the synagogue on Copernic Street (1980), the Jo Goldenberg restaurant on Rosiers Street in the Marais district (1982), the Tati shop in Rennes Street (1986), as well as two bomb explosions on the RER B commuter train at Saint-Michel (1995) and Port-Royal (1996) stations. However, only a few attacks continue to be recollected in urban memory. Why have so many fallen into oblivion?  
  
On November 13, 10 years after the terrorist attacks in Paris and its northern suburb of Saint-Denis, the French capital’s mayor will open a garden in tribute to the victims, located on Saint-Gervais Square at the back of city hall. Well-tended and original, the new memorial site comes after the plaques that were placed in front of the targeted locations of the attacks in November 2016. Some of the names of the victims have already been honoured in other spaces. This is the case, for example, of Lola Saline and Ariane Theiller, who used to work in the publishing industry and whose names adorn a plaque in the interior hall of the National Book Centre in the 7th arrondissement.
