Pope Leo will visit the Élysée Palace, the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, UNESCO headquarters and the shrine of Lourdes as part of his upcoming voyage to France at the end of September.

Having confirmed the trip a few months ago, the Holy See Press Office today published the full itinerary of Leo XIV’s French trip, taking place from September 25 to 28. Taking four flights over the course of the journey, Leo will visit Paris, Lourdes and Metz, before returning back to Rome’s Fiumicino airport.

He will deliver nine addresses and four homilies, meeting with the range of groups and individuals customary for such a trip: political and diplomatic figures, Catholic youth, local clergy, the bishops conference, and a community caring for the sick.
