Place du Martroi
The bas-reliefs on the base represent the various scenes of Joan's life from the voices of Domremy to the stake in Rouen.
The plinth was damaged during the fighting at the Liberation in 1944. The bas-reliefs were removed in 1987 and replaced by casts. The originals are kept in the Musée des Beaux-Arts.

Sainte-Croix Cathedral
One of the five largest Gothic cathedrals in France (140m long, 53m wide with a spire rising to 106m), Sainte-Croix was begun in 1287 and officially inaugurated on 8 May 1829. It has a long history: Joan of Arc prayed there, Henry IV initiated its reconstruction in 1601, Louis XIV financed the transepts which pay homage to him by displaying his motto and his sun. The magnificently sculpted woodwork in the choir and the stained glass windows telling the story of Joan of Arc are among its 'treasures', as are the 11 richly endowed 13th century chapels that form its chevet.
Exceptional closure of visits on 8 and 9 June 2019.
