A commemorative ceremony was held in Pamiers, Ariège, on March 19, 2026, to mark the National Day of Remembrance for the victims of the Algerian War and the combatants of Morocco and Tunisia. The event, led by local officials, took place at the town's war memorial.

The date of March 19 commemorates the ceasefire established by the Γ‰vian Accords in 1962, which ended the Algerian War. The national day of remembrance was officially established by a French law in 2012.

The ceremony honored the memory of all civilians and soldiers who died during the conflict, which lasted from 1954 to 1962. Similar official ceremonies were held across France on this national day.
