It was estimated that between 1.5 and 2 million people marched down and nearby [[Boulevard Voltaire]] in Paris. The Paris marches were attended by 40 world leaders, from both Europe and around the world.

He noted that, following the attacks, ''[[The Marseillaise]]'' had been sung in public, which his dead colleagues would have scorned. Also speaking prior to the Marches, [[Bernard Willem Holtrop|Willem]], another surviving cartoonist, said that a demonstration in support of free expression would be "naturally a good thing", but rejected the support of far-right figures such as [[Geert Wilders]] and [[Marine Le Pen]]: "We vomit on those who suddenly declare that they are our friends". | + | |
