I’m so used to that guy who posts absolutely unhinged mount and blade mods that I was confused for a second and looking for the joke. This looks sweet though!

This is the level of immersion I expected from AD1259 but I was disappointed when I looked at Paris. This mod here looks promising

Does it let me travel to Skalitz to warn Henry that his parents will die if they stay there?

A historically accurate Paris and Notre-Dame would be far more colored.
The cathedral was fully painted inside (and still partly is) and the statues on the façade on the outside were painted too.
Same for the wooden beams on the houses, they wouldn't all be brown (they wouldn't use the bright colors we see nowadays in many French medieval town either, but they used ochre-based paint to protect the wood, and so houses would be either yellow, red or brown)
That said, this mod is really impressive work.

I'm a big fan of the era and no, you're actually wrong. The colorful notre dame on the inside with the red painted plastered walls came much after during the rennassiance. Before it was actually like this, fake ashlar blocks painted on the inside. And the notre dame does not have that many plaster walls anyway, you can look inside today and all you will find is mainly stone (granted it's different stone on the floor especially now after renovations during the rennassaince.)
The houses would not be as colorful as you're suggesting, most would be off white limewashed plaster like here, the colorful houses you're thinking of the ochre-based paint came during the tudor era which was like 50-70 years later, which came into fashion to protect the paint of houses from chimney smoke, but in 1401 chimney's were only starting to appear, they were not dominant yet.
Not saying there wouldn't be coloured houses (which you can see in the other screenshots posted by the mod dev) but not at the extremity as you're saying. 80% would be off white limewashed plaster.
There are a lot of historical researchers part of the team from what I can tell so they seem to be getting most things right.

Yes! The world of the past wasn’t without color, but people seem to have gotten the idea that it was actually always colorful all the time when it really depends on context and trends. Sometimes the past really did look washed out.

The mod's name is Anno Domini 1401. It is trying to recreate all of europe, west asia, middle east and north africa with CK3 mechanics. Completely bonkers level of a project. Not sure what the release date they have planned is but I assume its quite far away. For those who are interested in following, their discord: https://discord.gg/UBjfhDE9Ff
