Orléans, France

Missionaries first arrived in France in 1849. This mission closed in 1864 and reopened in 1908, but the world wars limited the Church’s presence until after World War II. The first stake was organized in Paris in 1975. In 2011, President Thomas S. Monson announced the Paris France Temple, which was eventually dedicated in May 2017. Today, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in France has:

1 temple (Paris)

The Power of the Book of Mormon

Lucie Lee of the Lyon France Stake testifies: “Since we are studying the Book of Mormon this year with Come, Follow Me, we set the goal as a family to read it in four months, and we have been able to have very spiritual moments while doing so. The children love learning about all the stories and how we can apply them to our day.”
