PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that Pope Francis would at an undetermined time visit France, a country plunged into sorrow this week by a catastrophic fire at the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral.

"I spoke to the Pope yesterday by telephone. I obviously invited him to come over, and he will come at a time of his suiting," Macron said.
