“Every French citizen can take part [in the tribute] by taking the opportunity to deck their home with a blue, white and red flag, the colours of France,” government spokesman Stephane Le Foll quoted Mr Hollande as saying.
But some victims’ families threatened to snub the event, accusing the government of failing to tighten security after terror attacks in January, when jihadist gunmen killed 17 people in Paris, mainly at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine.
“Thanks Mr President, politicians, but we don’t want your handshake or your tribute and we hold you partly responsible for what has happened,” Emmanuelle Prevost, whose brother was one of the 90 killed at the Bataclan concert hall, wrote on Facebook.
As the nation mourns the victims, an international manhunt is still on for two key suspects — Salah Abdeslam, who played a key logistical role in the wave of terror, and Mohamed Abrini, seen with Mr Abdeslam two days before the atrocities.
France has stepped up its air strikes on IS targets in Syria and Iraq, where the group controls large areas of territory, and wants to create a more coordinated, concerted international effort to destroy the hardline Islamists.
On a visit to Moscow on Thursday, Hollande and Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed to coordinate strikes against the jihadists.
“The strikes against Daesh [IS] will be intensified and be the object of coordination,” Mr Hollande said at a news conference after their meeting at the Kremlin.
The agreement to focus on IS targets was the most concrete progress from the final leg of Mr Hollande’s marathon push to weld together a broad alliance to crush the IS after the Paris attacks.
But the French leader failed to gain any pledge from Mr Putin over helping the US-led coalition which is targeting the IS.
Mr Hollande’s diplomatic drive has secured some offers of support from France’s allies but also run into coolness and complications.
the challenge has been made tougher by a spat between Moscow and Turkey over a downed Russian warplane on the Syrian-Turkish border.
