French President François Hollande comforted the mother of policewoman Clarissa Jean-Philippe, who was killed during three days of violence in the French capital.
The president laid the
Legion d'honneur medal on coffins draped in the French flag as the families of
the victims looked on.
Meanwhile, the funeral
procession of four Jewish victims of the Paris attacks has begun in Jerusalem.
Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and other public figures gathered for the burial of Yohan Cohen, Yoav
Hattab, Francois-Michel Saada and Phillipe Braham.
The four were killed in the
hostage stand-off on Friday at a kosher supermarket in Paris.
They are among 17 people
who were killed in multiple terror attacks carried out last week by Islamic
fighters claiming allegiance to al Qaeda and the Islamic State jihadist groups.
Officers killed the
hostage-taker, Amedy Coulibaly, who claimed to belong to the Islamic State
group.
France will send thousands
of police to protect Jewish schools as it mobilises 10,000 troops to boost
security after the deadly attacks.
Defence Minister Jean-Yves
Le Drian said troops would be in place from Tuesday evening in sensitive areas.
Meanwhile, the hunt
continues for what the French prime minister called a "probably
accomplice" to the three days of bloodshed in the capital.
