Maison de Jeanne d'Arc
A reconstruction of the timber-framed house where Joan of Arc stayed during the 1429 relief of Orléans, with multimedia displays on her legendary story.
From April to May 1429, Joan of Arc stayed at the home of the royal treasurer Jacques Boucher while the siege of Orléans was lifted. The original house was destroyed during the Second World War. In the 1960s it was rebuilt to its original appearance, with a half-timbered exterior. It now serves as a museum on Joan's life and the siege of Orléans, a turning point in the Hundred Years' War, and presents the story through films, models and multilingual commentary. The museum is small. Admission costs about 6 euros, and it is closed on Mondays. It stands on the west side of Place du Martroi, a two-minute walk away.
