French President Francois Hollande said Monday the attacks in Paris targeted “youth in all its diversity,” killing at least 129. Here are some of their stories:

— Fanny Minot went straight from her job at a TV newsmagazine show to the Bataclan on Friday night. By Sunday, the show’s host, Ali Baddou, would be mourning her death on-air.

Minot, 29, was an editor at the show, “Le Supplement.” Artistic and free-spirited, she enjoyed making independent movies — and above all, enjoyed new experiences, her friend Stephen Fox told The Associated Press. He got to know Minot purely by chance, when she and a friend of hers were traveling in the U.S. about four years ago and came to stay with him and his then-roommate, courtesy of a free-stay website for self-declared couch-surfers.

Despite their different backgrounds, the guys from Shelbyville, Kentucky, and their visitors from France became such fast friends that the travelers stayed two extra days, and then the hosts drove six hours to Memphis, Tennessee, to spend another day with them. And a few months later, Fox went to France to visit Minot over New Year’s Eve.

“She was such a loving, compassionate person, with such an adventurous view on life,” said Fox, 27, who credits her energetic outlook with inspiring him to get his post-college life in gear by going to nursing school. “She was a very motivated, hardworking person, and she just loved life.”

Over the years, they stayed in touch, speaking by Skype every few months. But perhaps the memory that most sears his mind is of their goodbye at the airport in Paris.

“We just stood there in silence, realizing it was going to be a long time before we saw each other again, and we said, ‘We’re not saying goodbye — we’re saying: Until the next time,'” he recalled. “Which now kind of hurts, because that’s taken away.”

— Mohamed Amine Ibnolmobarak, 29, was an architect of Moroccan descent who studied and worked in Paris. He was killed at the Le Carillon restaurant in Paris while dining there with his new wife, according to a Facebook posting by his cousin Akram Benmbarek of San Diego. The wife, Maya Nemeta, was shot three times and was in critical condition at the hospital, the cousin wrote.

Ibnolmobarak was born in Rabat, Morocco, and had come to France to complete his university studies. Jean Attali, his professor at Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris Malaquais, where Ibnolmobarak also taught, wrote on Facebook that his young colleague was a “Muslim intellectual” whose thesis diploma focused on the pilgrimage to Mecca.

“Amine had found his place in our school and in the exercise of his profession of architect,” Attali wrote. “Many of us… hoped for a great future for him.”

The young architect had co-founded a cultural association focused on cities called New South. This month, the group’s work — including that of Mr. Ibnolmobarak — was exhibited at the Galerie du CROUS in Paris. On its Facebook page, New South wrote a tribute to Ibnolmobarak: “His research process, based on intelligence, tolerance and love could not have been a better legacy against terror.”

— Kheireddine Sahbi, 29, was an Algerian violinist who had come to Paris to perfect his art at the Paris-Sorbonne university. According to an announcement by the school, Sahbi was enrolled in the Masters of Ethnomusicology program and was involved in the university’s traditional music ensemble.

The school says Sahbi died while returning home in the 10th arrondissement, where terrorists attacked a restaurant.

The young violinist was born on the outskirts of Algiers, the capital of Algeria, and was widely known as Didine. Mr. Sahbi’s friend from Algeria Fayçal Oulebsir posted on his Facebook page: “Didine, my friend… You left us too young, dying in Paris so far away from us, taking with you your joy of living and so many hopes.”

— On their wedding day in 2013, Anne and Pierre-Yves Guyomard struck the mayor of their Paris suburb, Emmanuel Lamy, as a couple “full of life and hope,” Lamy recalled to the French newspaper Le Parisien .

Two and a half years later, their community, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, would be holding a moment of silence this week for them and others killed in Friday’s attacks in Paris.

Among the crowd at the Bataclan, the Guyomards were particularly steeped in music. Pierre-Yves, 32, taught film scoring at a technical institute, and Anne, 29, had studied music before going to work at a child-care center, according to Le Parisien.

The two had lived for a time on the Indian Ocean island of Réunion, where Anne Guyomard’s family told news outlet L’Info they had spent an agonizing day and a half wondering about the couple’s fate, calling unanswered phones and appealing for word of the two via Facebook, before being told they had been killed.

Anne was “the daughter I would wish on all parents — one who’s attentive, one who’s full of life,” and she loved children and people in general, brother-in-law Chris Hamer told L’Info. Pierre, meanwhile, was “an encyclopedia of music.”

“Their shared pleasure was music,” Hamer wrote on his Facebook page.

Her husband, Antoine Leiris, posted a memorial on Facebook, telling the terrorists: “I won’t give you the gift of my hatred. It’s what you sought, but answering hate with anger would be to surrender to the same ignorance that has made you what you are.”

He said the life of his 17-month-old child with his late wife, carried out in happiness and freedom, would forever be a challenge to the terrorists. “And you won’t have his hatred either,” Leiris concluded.
