Immerse yourself in the devotions and spirituality at the heart of Catholic France. From St Therese’s family home in Lisieux to the stunning architecture of France’s Gothic cathedrals in Paris, Chartres, and Rouen, witness the beauty and diversity of the faith that animated French culture and history and gave rise to some of the Church’s greatest saints.

What risks are involved with pilgrimage?

As with any travel, particularly international, it is important to be aware of your surroundings. We monitor travel conditions for the countries our groups visit, and our on-location partners keep us informed of potentially disruptive events, situations, and conditions that might affect travel. If travel to the country is not recommended by the U.S. and/or local authorities, we handle the particulars on a case-by-case basis and update our pilgrims accordingly. To mitigate risk, we encourage all of our pilgrims to purchase travel protection to minimize losses from unforeseen causes, such as travel delays or cancellations and lost baggage.
