President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo led solemn tributes at the site of the attack, where 12 people, including some of France's most beloved cartoonists, were killed on Jan 7, 2015.

Among those remembered was Ahmed Merabet, a police officer who was gunned down on the street while defending the newspaper.
