Abstract
A jubilee is an extraordinary means of penitence accorded by the pope; but it is also a means of information about his election or policies, accomplished by way of extraordinary ceremonies organized in Rome, as well as throughout Catholicism. This article examines the case of Paris in showing that the event took place rather frequently there, often fitting into the ordinary liturgical calendar, and more and more frequently organized on a parish level, even if the usual sites long offered the numerous stations involved. This ceremony allowed the kingdom’s capital to bear witness to its fidelity to the pope and to the idea of Catholicism, but also to establish the authority of the diocesan bishop and royal mediation. In fact, the monarch was responsible for the granting of certain jubilees and the authorization for organizing them, for the greater glory of the eldest son of the Church.
