"This is an act of war, and a terrorist army, the Islamic State, jihadists that made a stand against France, against the values we protect around the world, is behind this attack," Hollande said in a televised address.
The French president added that on Monday he would address the parliament that will convene for an extraordinary meeting in Versailles."
Hollande confirmed that 127 people died and many more were injured on Friday night after gun and bomb attacks hit seven venues around Paris.
