Maison de Jeanne d'Arc

Fodor's Review:

During the 10-day Siege of Orléans in 1429, 17-year-old Joan of Arc stayed on the site of the Maison de Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc House). This faithful reconstruction of the house she knew contains exhibits about her life and costumes and weapons of her time. Several dioramas modeled by Lucien Harmey recount the main episodes in her life, from the audience at Chinon to the coronation at Reims, her capture at Compiègne, and her burning at the stake at Rouen.

  • Cost: EUR 2
  • Open: May-Oct., Tues.-Sun. 10-noon and 1:30-6:30; Nov.-Apr., Tues.-Sun. 1:30-6
