At the end of 2025, the next stage of the pilgrimage of trust on earth organised by the ecumenical community of Taizé will take place in Paris and throughout the Île-de-France region. At the invitation of local Churches of different denominations, thousands of young people from across Europe aged 18 to 35 will come together for prayer and sharing, in a spirit of celebration and friendship. We look forward to welcoming you!
