Léon XIV en France : Rome renoue officiellement avec la France Summary The Holy See has officially confirmed that Pope Leo XIV shall travel to France from 25 to 28 September 2026 for an apostolic and state visit of considerable importance. Invited by the French Republic, the episcopal conference and UNESCO, the Pontiff is expected to visit Paris, Lourdes and major cultural institutions.
