PARIS — About 3,200 Parisians attended free first aid training in the French capital Saturday to be better prepared for possible terror attacks.

The two-hour sessions provided Saturday by rescuers in every district of Paris aimed to teach participants how to react in emergency situations. The measure was approved by the city council in December in the wake of the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people.

‘‘We must all know the five or six basic techniques that will help protecting the population if ever there are other attacks,’’ said Dr. Patrick Pelloux, an emergency room doctor. Pelloux was also a columnist for Charlie Hebdo and was among the first to arrive at the satirical newspaper’s offices after the Jan. 7 massacre there last year.

Paris plans to repeat the event at least once a year.

‘‘I was so shocked by the attack in Paris, and again this week in Brussels, that I wanted to be able to do the right thing at the right moment, in order not to feel powerless if I ever have to face an emergency situation,’’ 29-year-old Parisian Aurelie Bois said.

On Tuesday night, French soccer players will team will return to the Stade de France in Paris for the first time since the bombings at the national stadium. Security measures in place on Tuesday night will include increased checks on public transportation and around the stadium.
