inside
the
house
and
which
I
will
have
to
talk
about
at
greater
length.
When
you
enter
this
house,
you
first
enter
an
irregular
room
about
5
m.
50
long
by
4
m.
80
wide
and
2
m.
70
high.
It
served
both
as
a
bedroom
for
Joan's
parents
and
as
a
dining
room
for
the
whole
family.
It
is
said
that
this
is
where
the
Maid
was
born:
you
can
easily
find
the
location
of
the
large
bed
of
that
time:
A
large
fireplace
with
a
high
mantel,
and
decorated
with
an
iron
plate,
with
the
coat
of
arms
of
France
and
Lorraine
stands
on
one
side
of
the
room.
You
can
see
the
existence
of
an
old
iron
plate
or
plate
intended
to
receive
the
light.
It
is
in
the
corner
of
this
fireplace
that
poor
Joan
must
have
sat
during
the
long
winter
vigils.
A
large
crossbeam
and
a
projecting
joist
still
bear
the
imprint
of
the
numerous
cuts
made
there
by
people
wishing
to
take
away
some
fragments
as
a
souvenir
of
their
visit,
as
we
will
see
later.
In
the
middle
of
the
room
was
placed
in
1843
a
bronze
reduction
of
the
full-length
statue
of
Joan
of
Arc,
due
to
the
chisel
of
Princess
Marie
of
Orléans.
On
the
black
marble
pedestal
of
this
masterpiece
so
full
of
sentiment,
grace
and
religious
inspiration,
we
read
the
following
inscription:
"Given
the
King
his
father,
to
the
department
of
Vosges,
to
be
placed
in
the
house
where
Joan
of
Arc
was
born."
