Paris Returns to French Control
1436
After sixteen years of English occupation, Parisian burghers opened the gates to Charles VII's constable. English troops retreated to the Bastille and then fled by river. The king entered his own capital for the first time. Joan of Arc's vision was becoming, building by building, real geography. The peaceful transfer contrasted with the bloody Burgundian takeover of 1418, though English garrisons held several strongpoints for years.
