Since WW II, France has never closed her borders and declared a state of emergency in the entire country. Not even during the War in Algeria. Hollande wants to make sure this is not part of something bigger before he re-opens the borders. That gives him about 6 hours until this starts having big ripples. Passenger planes are over the Atlantic right now, headed to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, etc. They will have to land somewhere.
A Paris regional "Plan White" is in effect, hospitals are calling is personnel for lots of casualties.

Parisnas are opening their apartments to harbor strangers stranded in Paris. That is more than hospitality. It is courageous.
