Pope Benedict XVI arrives for first papal visit to France

The pontiff flew to Paris where he was greeted at the airport by President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni. The four-day trip will feature a keynote address on the role of religion in society, an open-air mass in Paris on Saturday, and a pilgrimage to the southern French town of Lourdes, where Catholics believe the Virgin Mary appeared to a peasant girl 150 years ago.
