Saturday was focused on the theme "Kingdom of truth and of life", under the patronage, in the year of Saint Paul, of Saint Paul, the Apostle to the nations.
The organization counted 1,500 people more than last year during the Mass at the Bièvres stop. The Mass of the Vigil of Pentecost was celebrated by Father Eric Iborra, curate of the parish St-Eugène-St.Cecile in Paris.

The NLM will bring you photos of the pilgrimage as they come in.
