Pope Leo held an open-air Mass at Paris's Place de la Concorde on September 26, drawing approximately 700,000 attendees, with the crowd extending some 2.2 kilometers in length 13. The pontiff, who leads the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, used the occasion to address the faithful, stating "Let it overflow, so that those you meet may be refreshed and their thirst satisfied" and emphasizing that "Only God can fill the emptiness within us" 3. The Mass represented the largest gathering during his four-day, three-city tour of France 3, marking his first formal visit to the country in 18 years 3.

Security for the event was substantial, with approximately 14,500 police officers, military personnel, and firefighters deployed to protect attendees 3. The gathering included an estimated 100 bishops, 2,400 priests and deacons 3. The previous day at Notre-Dame Cathedral, approximately 300,000 people welcomed the pontiff 1. During his visit, the 71-year-old American-born pope warned of artificial intelligence threatening humanity, cautioning against what he termed "the paradise of machines," while calling on the French faithful to maintain their religious convictions in an increasingly secular society 2. Following the Paris Mass, the pontiff planned to continue his visit to Lourdes and Metz 1.
