French President Francois Hollande has vowed that his country will protect all religions, saying that Muslims are the main victims of fanaticism.
Speaking at the Arab World Institute, he said Islam was compatible with democracy and thanked Arabs for their solidarity over terrorism in Paris.
Three attacks, including on Charlie Hebdo magazine and a Jewish supermarket last week, left 17 people dead.
Funeral ceremonies for five of the victims will be held later.
