This is a review of the cities of France mentioned in the Centuries. The criteria for regrouping the quatrains are based on some identified keywords and logic.
Paris and Lutecia
9.24 Lutecia (ancient name of Paris)
"Upon the palace at the balcony of the windows,"
The two little royal ones will be carried off:
"To pass OrlÚans, Paris, abbey of Saint-Denis,"
"Nun, wicked ones to swallow green pits."
2.88 Lutecia (anient name of Paris)
"The circuit of the great ruinous deed,"
The seventh name of the fifth will be:
Of a third greater the stranger warlike:
"Sheep, Paris, Aix will not guarantee."
3.56 Paris
"Montauban, N¯mes, Avignon and BÚziers,"
"Plague, thunder and hail in the wake of Mars:"
"Of Paris bridge, Lyons wall, Montpellier,"
After six hundreds and seven score three pairs.
5.30 Assault, Rome, Paris
All around the great city
Soldiers will be lodged throughout the fields and towns:
"To give the assault Paris, Rome incited,"
Then upon the bridge great pillage will be carried out.
8.60 Paris, Norlaris
"First in Gaul, first in Romania,"
over land and sea against the English and Paris.
"Marvelous deeds by that great troop,"
"violent, the wild beast will lose Lorraine."
3.93 Paris, Leader of the Empire
In Avignon the chief of the whole empire
Will make a stop on the way to desolated Paris:
Tricast will hold the anger of Hannibal:
Lyons will be poorly consoled for the change.
9.45 Paris, Empire Mendosus
"None will remain to ask,"
Great Mendosus will obtain his dominion:
Far from the court he will cause to be countermanded
"Piedmont, Picardy, Paris, Tuscany the worst."
9.86 Paris, Seven for peace
"From Bourg-la-Reine they will come straight to Chartres,"
And near Pont d'Antony they will pause:
"Seven crafty as Martens for peace,"
Paris closed by an army they will enter.
City of liberty, freedom
4.16 Free city
The city of liberty made servile:
Made the asylum of profligates and dreamers.
The King changed to them not so violent:
From one hundred become more than a thousand.
10.41 Free city
"On the boundary of Caussade and Caylus,"
Not at all far from the bottom of the valley:
"Music from Villefranche to the sound of lutes,"
Encompassed by cymbals and great stringing.
Blois
8.52 King of Bloys
"The king of Blois to reign in Avignon,"
from Amboise and Seme the length of the Indre:
claws at Poitiers holy wings ruined
before Boni. . . .
8.38 King of Bloys
"The King of Blois will reign in Avignon,"
once again the people covered in blood.
In the Rh¶ne he will make swim
"near the walls up to five, the last one near Nolle."
3.55 Bloy, France - Mazarine
"In the year that one eye will reign in France,"
The court will be in very unpleasant trouble:
The great one of Blois will kill his friend:
The realm placed in harm and double doubt.
1.20 Bloy
"The cities of Tours, Orleans, Blois, Angers, Reims and Nantes"
are troubled by sudden change.
Tents will be pitched by (people) of foreign tongues;
"rivers, darts at Rennes, shaking of land and sea."

This is not necessarily the shaking of May and more surely some Great leader who will cause these cities to tremble - all of the mentioned cities are royal residences except for maybe (?) Nantes. But this may state that Nantes will become one.

1.20
Qui perçoit comme moi ? Un grand leader causera la terreur dans toutes ces villes. Notons que toutes ces villes sont résidences royales sauf Nantes. Cela peut-il vouloir dire que la terreur va se généraliser à la province ou s'agit-il de la période de la révolution française ? Mais l'histoire se répète.
3.51 Blois, Paris - French revolution
Paris conspires to commit a great murder
Blois will cause it to be fully carried out:

9.21 Boys, Temple
"At the tall temple of Saint-Solenne at Blois,"
"Night Loire bridge, Prelate, King killing outright:"
"Crushing victory in the marshes of the pond,"
Whence prelacy of whites miscarrying.

"The great Satyr and Tiger of Hyrcania,"
Gift presented to those of the Ocean:
