00:02Paris is flooded with crowds on Saturday as hundreds of thousands gather along the Champs Elysées to hear Pope Leo
00:09XIV speak during his first official visit to France in decades.
00:14I'm here in the heart of Paris where you could say it's absolute chaos ahead of the Pope's open air
00:21mass which will be delivered to 600,000 people later today.
00:25There are huge crowds who are trying to exit the Invalide metro station ahead of the Pope's mass later today.
00:3514,000 police officers, gendarmes and extra security forces have been deployed to ensure that the mass and security around
00:43it runs smoothly.
00:44As you can see behind me, the crowds are not just below ground, they're also above ground as people rush
00:51to secure their spot in the open air mass.
00:53We are very, very happy to be here today and to share this beautiful energy that we have all together
00:59to come assist to this spectacular event.
01:02How do you feel like in front of the mass?
01:05I feel very well, I feel very well.
01:07Yesterday there was also the day of the day and today they come to the mass and it's great.
01:12It's a huge day for France but also a huge visit because it marks the first official papal visit to
01:19France in 18 years.
