President Hollande said that Paris was “the capital of the world” on Sunday as the capital held a huge rally
French President Francois Hollande is due to chair a crisis meeting with cabinet ministers on national security after last week’s deadly attacks.
The meeting comes amid questions over how militants known to the authorities were able to launch the raids in Paris.
The assault on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and separate attacks on police officers and a kosher supermarket killed 17 people.
More than 1.5m people marched in the capital on Sunday in a show of unity.
The French government said the rally turnout was the highest on record.
About 40 world leaders joined the start of the Paris march, linking arms in an act of solidarity.
They included UK Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
President Hollande will meet his cabinet, including Prime Minister Manuel Valls and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, as well as the heads of police and security services at 08:30 local time (07:30 GMT) on Monday.
In London, Prime Minister Cameron is also consulting senior intelligence and security officials over Britain’s response to the attacks in France.
Last week, Mr Valls admitted there had been “clear failings” after it emerged that the three gunman involved in the attacks – Said and Cherif Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly – had a history of extremism.
The Kouachi brothers were on UK and US terror watch lists and Coulibaly had previously been convicted for plotting to free a known militant from prison. Coulibaly met Cherif Kouachi while in jail.
Coulibaly and the two brothers were shot dead on Friday after police ended two separate sieges.
