With great expectation, France is preparing to receive Pope Leo XIV after 18 years
In the Plaza de la Concordia the immense stage for Pope Leo XIV is finished, which will receive 600,000 people for an outdoor mass. On September 25, the Pontiff will arrive in France, a country that a Pope did not officially visit for 18 years, when Benedict XVI travelled there in 2008. His four-day tour will begin in Paris, then visit the Lourdes shrine and end in Metz on September 28. The Parisians are waiting for the arrival of the high Pontiff, and the Catholics prepare to receive him.
