Daily life was punctuated by the ringing of bells; regular cycles of processions around the city by the clergy, religious, and confraternities; feast days; pilgrimages to local shrines; and other fiercely guarded local rituals. From the king's magnifi cent chapel at Versailles to the fi elds of the humblest rural parish, the Church's calendar and ceremonies formed a sacred landscape in which every Frenchman's life unfolded, shaping his experience of time and place, reinforcing personal, local, and national identities and binding together the stratifi ed society of early-modern France with a common ritual life.
