King’s Paris reception and grand supper described
The King was greeted at the stairs by the Duke de Gerres and city officials in gowns. A window view of the crowd produced constant acclamations, followed by a salvo, rockets, and magnificent fireworks. At table, numerous nobles sat in order, with the Duke de Rochefoucauld beside the King, as Provost des Merchands presented the Napkin and city stewards hosted a grand feast to mirror Louis IX’s royal banquet funded by the city.
