How did Mozart adapt the Paris Symphony to the tastes of Parisian audiences?

During his time in Paris in 1778, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart successfully adapted his Symphony in D Major (K 297) to the specific preferences of the Parisian public and musicians.

He achieved this by incorporating elements that catered to the local appetite for orchestral display without compromising his artistic integrity. Specifically, Mozart utilized devices that were highly admired by Parisian audiences, such as the coup d’archet—a forceful, unanimous musical gesture—and integrated them into new formal ends. By balancing these crowd-pleasing techniques with his own compositional depth, he was able to meet the expectations of the Parisian concert scene while maintaining the quality of his work.1
