Pope Benedict XVI is making his first visit to France since becoming Pope.
He was greeted upon his arrival at the airport in Paris by President Nicolas Sarkozy. The four-day trip is to feature a keynote address on the role of religion in society, an open-air mass in Paris, and a pilgrimage to the southern French town of Lourdes. That's where Catholics believe the Virgin Mary appeared to a peasant girl 150 years ago.
