Place de la Pucelle-d'Orléans, Rouen, Historical square in center of Rouen, France

The Place de la Pucelle-d'Orléans extends in the heart of Rouen, connecting several medieval streets and neighboring the Place du Vieux-Marché.

During construction work in 1994, workers discovered a Gallo-Roman fountain from the third century, which was subsequently moved to the regional Enedis Normandy headquarters.

The square honors Joan of Arc through its name and formerly displayed a statue of her created by sculptor Paul-Ambroise Slodtz between 1754 and 1755.

The underground parking facility beneath the square provides 440 paid parking spaces for visitors exploring the historical district of Rouen.

An annual African market takes place in this square, offering a contemporary contrast to its medieval surroundings and historical significance.
