France 24 reported that hundreds of thousands turned out for a popemobile parade along Paris’s Champs-Élysées, describing a large public gathering without providing a precise crowd count.

The report, issued on 26 September, did not specify when the parade took place or identify the Pope by name. The crowd figure is attributed to France 24 and is not independently verified in the supplied material.

Stan Chu Ilo, a senior research professor at DePaul University, was a guest in the France 24 segment.

The available information provides no further details about the parade or how the turnout was assessed.
