Joan of Arc’s House
This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Orleans, Walking through history with Clovis, Joan of Arc and Attila
You’ve now arrived in front of the famous Joan of Arc House. The original building was destroyed during World War II bombings, but it was faithfully rebuilt in 1965. This is where Jacques Boucher, treasurer to the Duke of Orléans, had the honor of hosting Joan of Arc during her historic stay in the city — from April 29 to May 9, 1429. That short time span gives you an idea of just how swiftly the siege of Orléans was lifted! Today, for a small entrance fee, you can watch a short film about Joan’s life — but be aware, the visit is limited to the film only.
