Home of Joan of Arc

The house of Joan of Arc is in Orléans, about an hour south of Paris by train. Trains run very often because there are people working in Paris. Trains leave Austerlitz and cost about 8 euros for young people. The house of Joan of Arc is near the cathedral. It was not her primary residence, but a house where she lived briefly that has been converted into a museum with artifacts and historic details about her life. The building belonged to the Count of Orléans, which housed Joan of Arc when she fought to liberate the city. After seven months of assault, the city was liberated, and then the building housed many famous people such as the King of France, Charles VII.
