Guise activities, 1674
Return to list of activities, year by year
The sources are not very eloquent about 1674, aside from the Mercy's organs, about which I wrote in the Charpentier Bulletin, and about the theater, about which I have decided not to comment here. Thus there is no explanation of the sources for this year.
