Thousands of people lined Paris' Champs Elysees boulevard to see President Francois Hollande lay a wreath at the Arc de Triomphe, where an eternal flame marks France's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Smaller ceremonies were being held across France, where church bells toll to mark the hour when the armistice was signed Nov. 11, 1918, and memorials list the names of each village's dead.
