The death toll from last week's attacks has risen to 130, after one of the victims being treated in hospital died from their injuries, prime minister Manuel Valls announced.
Meanwhile, seven of the eight people arrested on Wednesday in police raids in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis have been released without charge.
A man suspected of providing accommodation to Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged ringleader in the attacks, remains in police custody. Terror suspects in France can be detained for six days without charge.
