Paris & the Vendée | 20–25 October 2026
Holy Figures, Eternal France:
inspiring a new hope for Europe

About the Venues
Where history and faith meet
Puy du Fou
AM26 opens in the Vendée. Two full days inside France's award-winning historical theme park, bringing France's Christian history to life through spectacular shows, live performances and immersive storytelling.
Collège Stanislas
One of France's most prestigious Catholic schools, founded in Paris in 1804. Alumni include Charles de Gaulle, Christian Dior and Jacques Cousteau.
Collège des Bernardins
One of the oldest medieval buildings in Paris, a thirteenth-century former Cistercian college, beautifully restored and now a leading centre for culture, dialogue and debate.
The Seine
Paris's iconic river. A night cruise reveals the city's illuminated landmarks, from the Eiffel Tower to Notre-Dame, for our Annual Meeting Gala finale.
