Pope Leo XIV's visit to France will take place from September 25 to 28, starting with a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron. He will also deliver a speech at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, according to Franceinfo.

According to Le Figaro, the Stade de France is fully booked, and over 200,000 people have already registered for the Mass on the Champs-Élysées. Additionally, a vigil with young people is also fully booked.

High expectations are set for this event, with around 500,000 people expected at Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Élysées during the visit. The locations for the gatherings are evidently in high demand.
