Pope Leo XIV’s four-day visit to France centers on appeals for peace amid geopolitical conflict, reflection on artificial intelligence and human dignity, and the role of faith in a strongly secular society. The itinerary includes Paris, Lourdes and Metz, with a major address at UNESCO on AI, youth, peace and interreligious dialogue—the first papal visit to the organization in more than 40 years. The trip has drawn broad interest, while church leaders hope it will deepen renewed curiosity about Christianity and send a message to Europe. His engagements also unfold amid French debates over secularism and end-of-life legislation, with talks expected to touch on international affairs and other shared challenges.
