France 24 reported that 700,000 people attended a Mass led by Pope Leo XIV at Place de la Concorde in central Paris.
The Mass took place on the second day of the Pope’s four-day visit to France, according to background coverage supplied with the report.
Earlier coverage said almost 600,000 people had registered for the event, but did not provide a verified final attendance figure. France 24’s report does not explain how its 700,000 estimate was calculated.
The report also says journalist Luke Shrago spoke with Father Grégoire Catta. No details of their conversation were included in the supplied material.
