The visit will mark the pope's fifth international apostolic journey.
Pope Leo XIV will undertake an apostolic journey to France from Sept. 25 - 28, a visit which will include a stop at the headquarters of UNESCO.
The trip was officially announced on May 16 by Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni. The Holy See did not immediately release the full itinerary of the trip.
The visit will mark the pope's fifth international apostolic journey.
The pope has already visited Turkey and Lebanon (in late 2025) and Monte Carlo (in March 2026).
In April he undertook a major voyage to Africa — with the trip spanning Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea — and is scheduled to visit Spain from June 6 - 12.
He is widely expected to also visit Latin America in the fall.
The last visit by a pope to France dates to Dec. 15, 2024, when Pope Francis traveled to Ajaccio, Corsica.
