The birthplace of Joan of Arc, located in Domrémy-la-Pucelle, is a fascinating historical site, where Joan was born in 1412.
Contrary to the image of a modest childhood, Joan grew up in a relatively wealthy family for the time: her father, Jacques d’Arc, was an influential man in the village, a landowner and tax collector.
The house itself, well preserved, testifies to this status, with its stone architecture and its interior representative of the well-maintained rural dwellings of the 15th century.
Today, this place, now a museum, presents objects and documents that shed light on Joan’s youth, offering visitors an intimate look at the woman who would become the “Maid of Orléans” and one of the most famous figures in French history.
