Plans underway for pope to visit france at the end of september say bishops 07.05.2026

Pope Leo XIV is slated for his inaugural official visit to France in late September, as announced by the French Bishops’ Conference on May 6, following discussions with the pontiff's representatives. Conference president Jean-Marc Aveline confirmed preliminary program drafting sessions, indicating stops in Paris and the pilgrimage site of Lourdes. This planned visit, which French President Emmanuel Macron has endorsed following his April 10 meeting with Pope Leo XIV in Rome, marks the first official papal state visit to France since Benedict XVI in 2008. Pope Leo XIV, elected on May 8, 2025, has not yet visited France, having previously bypassed the country during a trip to Monaco in March 2026.
