Historial Jeanne d’Arc

A really impressive modern exhibition about Joan of Arc’s life, full of projections, 3D visualizations, and a strong immersive vibe. The beginning feels like a historical movie you actually get to step inside. Later parts are more traditional, with documents and classic displays. Still, the whole experience holds together well — even those who skipped history class will walk away understanding why Joan remains such a legendary figure.

Rather than a museum, it is a linear, immersive tour presented in multiple stages by means of a light/projection show while traversing up and around through the palace’s rooms and towers. The entire experience has high production value and very comprehensively explains the history of Jeanne D’Arc from beginning to end. I did not know about the place in advance so I was pleasantly surprised at the presentation. Highly recommended for those who want to learn in a more dynamic fashion.

Very interesting museum leading you through a retrial of Joan. Very immersive exhibits where you are lead through multiple rooms each with projections. Also set in the bishop's palace so included access to some rooms at the end with great views of the city.

I would have given 5 stars for this attraction about the life and death of Joan of Arc but as it’s a video exhibition in French you need to wear a headset. Whilst this doesn’t bother me you really have to have it loud to drown out the French audio on the video. Some great rooms and views of Rouen though, don’t be afraid to try doors to get into the chapel (see picture).

Well worth the time if you’re visiting. Excellent presentations of ancient events. The translation devices worked well. Two tips make sure volume is up and don’t put the receiver in your pocket. It seems to have a small aerial which you can see but the unit struggles if this is obscured. Much more knowledgeable after the tour.

An interesting museum about Joan of Arc. Excellent location for restaurants and seeing the Rouen Cathedral. You are given an audio headset to translate and videos start in each room at certain times. I appreciated it, but would have preferred self-pacing. It was cold inside and I kept my winter coat on for most of the experience. Not many souvenirs, although I think that makes sense for a more somber site. Once was enough, but I recommend you go if you're interested in Joan of Arc, as a person, saint, and legend.

Fantastic re-enactment tour of Jeanne's d'arcs story and trial. Very engaging well paced and interesting. They have styled the tour in side the old archbishops palace where projectors are used on the cleaned walls for aesthetic and intriguing storytelling. We needed English audio guides, which were free. Tour takes about an hour and you need to wait for the tour time to start because its video based. There is also other rooms after to look through after as well. Great view of Rouen here as well!

Wowsa. Fascinating way to present the story, you will not be disappointed. Be aware- lots of stairs! Very informative.
