February 1626 CE

France remains the largest Catholic kingdom that is not only not aligned with the Habsburg powers but will come to actively wage war against Spain.

The French Crown's response to the Hugeunot rebellion is not so much a representation of the typical religious polarization of the Thirty Years' War, but rather the attempts at achieving national hegemony by absolutist monarchy.

After long negotiations, a peace agreement, the Treaty of Paris (1626) is finally signed between the city of La Rochelle and King Louis XIII on February 5, 1626, preserving religious freedom but imposing some guaranties against possible future upheavals: La Rochelle is prohibited from keeping a war fleet and has to destroy a fort in Tasdon.

The contentious Fort Louis under royal control near the western gate of the city is supposed to be destroyed "in reasonable time".
