The Associated Press reports as many as 26, as of this writing.
Some victims were at a restaurant, while others were at a nearby theater.
Early reports indicate there may be a hostage situation with more people at that theater.
Police have also confirmed an explosion at a bar near Stade de France stadium, where a football match was underway between France and Germany.
There are reports of other explosions heard at the stadium as well, but no details yet.
"The attack comes as France has heightened security measures ahead of a major global climate conference that starts in two weeks, out of fear of violent protests and potential terrorist attacks."
The attacks occurred not far from where the Charlie Hebdo shooting happened in January.
"French news media reported that Kalashnikov rifles had been involved in the shootings — a favored weapon of militants who have attacked targets in France — and that many rounds had been fired."
