L’Historial Jeanne d’Arc

Gare

This popular attraction tells the story of Joan of Arc in well-translated videos. As visitors tour the Archbishop's Palace, they follow in Joan's footsteps—she was condemned to death here in 1431 and pardoned posthumously in 1456 following a trial on the second floor.

Musée Le Secq des Tournelles

Gare

Not far from the Musée des Beaux-Arts, this museum claims to have the world's finest collection of wrought iron, with exhibits spanning the 4th through 19th centuries. The displays, imaginatively housed in a converted medieval church, include the professional instruments of surgeons, barbers, carpenters, clockmakers, and gardeners.
