Pope Leo XIV led an open-air Mass at Place de la Concorde in central Paris on 26 September, the second day of his four-day visit to France.
Al Jazeera reported that around 800,000 people gathered for the event. The figure is an estimate; supplied coverage gives differing crowd totals, and the Vatican’s estimate of more than 800,000 has not been independently verified.
Earlier that day, Leo met migrants at Maison Bakhita, an association supporting refugees. He had held a youth vigil at Stade de France on 25 September.
