Maison de Jeanne d'Arc (Orléans)
During the 10-day Siege of Orléans in 1429, 17-year-old Joan of Arc stayed on the site of this building, a faithful reconstruction of the house she knew. The museum contains exhibits about her life, as well as costumes and weapons of her time. Lucien Harmey has created several dioramas which recount the major episodes in Joan's life, from the audience with the dauphin (later King Charles VII) at Chinon to the coronation at Reims, her seizure at Compiègne, and the stake at Rouen.
