On the eve of Leo XIV’s visit to Paris, security measures are gradually being put in place along the route the pope is to take in the popemobile on Friday, September 25. Police have begun enforcing the no-parking ban over the roughly 2.5 kilometers linking Notre-Dame-des-Champs to Place Saint-Michel, notably along Boulevard Saint-Michel. Barriers and safety tape now mark off certain areas. Officers have also removed several bicycles, sometimes by breaking their locks, while signs indicate the no-parking ban. Around Notre-Dame de Paris, preparations are also continuing with the installation of seats and the presence of a bomb disposal vehicle. The cathedral will remain closed to the public from September 24 to 26 because of the pope’s visit. Near Notre-Dame-des-Champs, a banner is already welcoming Leo XIV.
