To book, you’ll need to visit the official platform inscription.pape-france.fr as soon as registration opens.
The Pope is in Paris: schedule, access, and disruptions to know about on September 25 and 26
Pope Leo XIV's visit kicks off this Friday in Paris and continues on Saturday. From a papamobile ride to a vigil, a high Mass and road closures, here are the key moments and practical details you should know. [Read more]
Once you’ve registered, you’ll still have to wait. The form does not provide an immediate ticket: “A registration confirmation will be sent in the coming weeks,” the diocese says, according to BFM. In other words, you register as soon as registration opens, then receive an email later telling you whether your request has been received.
If you weren’t able to book, all is not lost. “People who were unable to register will still be welcomed, subject to the capacity of the areas reserved for them,” the diocese says. Some areas will therefore be open to visitors without a reservation, subject to availability. Registering is still the best way to maximize your chances, especially for the youth vigil.
On September 25 and 26, Pope Leo XIV will take part in several key events in Paris, where he will also meet Emmanuel Macron. The apostolic trip will then continue to Lourdes, with an open-air Mass on Sunday, September 27, before a final celebration at Metz Cathedral on Monday, September 28.
