"Joan of Arc’s historical significance lies not only in the fact that she played a pivotal role in leading the French army to victory during the Hundred Years’ War against the English, but also that she was canonized by Pope Benedict XV in 1920—nearly 500 years after she was burned at the stake. She’s now the patron saint of France and known worldwide for her bravery. Learn more about her at the Maison de Jeanne d’Arc, a re-creation of the house on Place General-de-Gaulle where she stayed during the Siege of Orléans in 1429. Here, you’ll find a multimedia room with interactive kiosks, a map of her journey, and an illustrated chronology of her life, as well as an animated film about her story. Guided tours are available in French and English, and on Fridays at 5 p.m., the museum also hosts a lively market."

It was Sunday afternoon when we went so didn’t have to pay to get in but you could only see the film but it was still worth the visit

15 minute video for 4€. Kids are free. It’s ok, house not interesting and not accessible. Headphones provided for English translation.

Closed for lunch between 2-3.30pm so were turned away. It was a long way to travel to see a house that was built in 1965 and pretends to be from the style of 1429. We loved Orleans but this place was a grift.

The only thing that you could do inside was watching a film about the life of Jeanne d'Arc. It was ok, learned a little bit more about her history.

I didn't get inside since it was sold to me at the entrance that only a movie is available. The rest of the house was not accessible.

Short experience without much substance. Mainly 2 touch screens, a video and a laminated booklet to peruse. Not worth the experience.

This house is fine for a short visit. There is a video presentation of the life of Joan of Arc and you can listen to it in your own language. Combined with tickets to other museums in the town, it is worth seeing for an hour or so.
