Landmarks across the globe, including the London Eye, the Tokyo Skytree, and the White House, turned red, white, and blue, the colors of the French flag. Candlelight vigils spread across the world. Even sports matches paused for silence. “This is an attack, not just on Paris, it’s an attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share,” President Obama said. Watch the video above to see how countries near and far paid tribute to France. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4113809/paris-tribute-france-world/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4113809/paris-tribute-france-world/"},"headline":"Watch the World Pay Tribute to France","datePublished":"2015-11-15T18:52:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:38:43.325Z","description":"Tributes were seen around the globe","url":"https://time.com/4113809/paris-tribute-france-world/","keywords":["France","paris"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt41bede3b28d347a5/6988712e3c1639a82045abaf/gettyimages-497265696.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Anne Most","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/anne-most/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt41bede3b28d347a5/6988712e3c1639a82045abaf/gettyimages-497265696.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"FRANCE-ATTACKS","caption":"FRANCE-ATTACKS","creditText":"REMY GABALDA—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4113809/paris-tribute-france-world/","name":"Watch the World Pay Tribute to France"}}]}] ```
