Paris: On Monday Paris returned to work - though the mood of the city was still subdued.
The Eiffel Tower lit up in the Tricolore and opened again for business, but underneath the show of solidarity the flow of tourists was noticeably thinner.
Squads of rifle-wielding soldiers walked in endless patrols around major tourist landmarks such as Notre Dame and the Louvre, where the usual queues were a fraction of their normal length. Armed police were on high alert in every corner of major transport hubs.
Electronic signs warned the public not to gather in large demonstrations.
At midday, the city stood to attention for a minute's silence in honour of those who died in the Friday attacks.
The moment of contemplation was announced on loudspeakers at Paris Gare du Nord train station - but while some paused in their commutes, others walked on, oblivious, their minds back to the daily grind.
In the evening, crowds of locals returned to the spontaneous shrines of remembrance that have sprung up outside the attack sites, and significant places such as the Liberty statue in Place de la Republique - to stand in silent contemplation, leave more flowers, light more candles.
But outside the Bataclan, one such shrine was cleared by police who want to reopen the street outside the theatre.
The gendarmes asked the gathered crowd to move back so they could shift the piles of flowers and notes. But, unasked, a queue of volunteers stepped up to carefully carry the tributes to a new site, facing the theatre where so many people lost their lives to the terrorists three days earlier.
Paris is not quite ready to let go of its grief.
