Speaking to the camera, Mr Satchell said: 'The feeling here in Paris has certainly changed significantly since we arrived on Saturday when Paris was a ghost town.
'Last night it was incredibly busy. There were vigils here, there were vigils at the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower was lit up in red, white and blue, which I think is a sign of hope.'
His voice began to crack slightly as he said the last few words and he closed his eyes as he tried to compose himself.
Standing in front of one of the memorials in the city, Mr Satchell became overcome with emotion as he spoke about the aftermath of the terror attacks in which at least 129 people died.
The reporter was talking about the hope he has seen in the French capital since Friday's massacre when his voice started to catch in his throat and he had to stop the report early.
Viewers have since taken to social media to praise his 'honest reporting' as his colleagues in the BBC studio said the attacks had been 'distressing' for all those involved.
