Paris Mayor Anne Hildago, from left, French President Francois Hollande and President Barack Obama arrive at the Bataclan.
President Barack Obama paid a midnight tribute on Monday 30th November 2015 to the victims of the Paris terror attacks, laying a single white rose at the Bataclan club where ISIS terrorists unleashed carnage two weeks ago.
Saying
nothing in blustery darkness, Obama paused to survey an overflowing
pile of bouquets at the entrance to the theater, a makeshift memorial to
the 90 who died inside as gunmen stormed though.
He was joined by French President Francois Hollande and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, each arriving ahead of the U.S. President.
It was his first stop in Paris after arriving for climate talks with other world leaders. It took him 45 minutes to get to the site from Orly Airport, where Air Force One touched down late Sunday.
The
President's motorcade arrived at the site in silence, passing down a
cordoned-off Boulevard Voltaire at a slow speed. Heavily armed French
police stood guard at the corner of Rue Oberkampf, a block and a half
from the theater, preventing pedestrians and traffic from passing by. See more on CNN News.
