Joan of Arc Historial

In this monumental building, you can still visit the Officialité, the roomwhere Joan was sentenced in 1431 and where she was posthumously declared innocent following her retrial in 1456.
Take in the unique atmosphere, imbued with the presence of those who have passed within its walls over the centuries. It is in this special place that visitors from all over the world come to learn about France’s heroic, legendary figure.
