On Sunday, Paris's streets brimmed with an estimated 1 million people in a march of national unity.
The moving spectacle comes in the wake of multiple acts of terror this week, including one on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The attacks left 17 dead.
The march, known as the Marche Republicaine, drew countless French citizens, as well as over 40 foreign leaders.
"Today, Paris is the capital of the world," French President Francois Hollande told the Associated Press. "Our entire country will rise up toward something better."
Reuters called the solidarity march an "unprecedented tribute."
