Maison de Jeanne d’Arc

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:01:33

The best place to get an overview of Joan of Arc’s life story is this reconstruction of the 15th-century house that hosted her between April and May 1429 (the original was destroyed by British bombing in 1940). Start with its main feature: a 15-minute movie (in French or English) tracing her origins, accomplishments and historical impact.

There’s a wall-sized timeline in the adjoining room. Upstairs are the archives of the world’s largest Joan of Arc research centre.
