Maison dite de Jeanne d'Arc in Orléans

Maison dite de Jeanne d'Arc in Orléans, Museum and research center in Orléans, France.

The Maison dite de Jeanne d'Arc is a four-storey townhouse in central Orléans, rebuilt in 1965 in medieval style: red brick between dark grey timber framing, a pale stone ground floor, mullioned windows and a slate roof with a small dormer. It now houses the municipal Jeanne d'Arc museum, opened in 1974.

The brick-and-timber townhouse belonged to Jacques Boucher, treasurer general of Charles I, Duke of Orléans. Joan of Arc stayed there from 29 April to 9 May 1429 during the siege of Orléans, the Hundred Years' War episode pitting England and Burgundy against France. Destroyed by the 1940 bombardments, it was rebuilt in 1965 and the municipal museum opened in 1974 under the auspices of André Malraux.

The house is named after Joan of Arc, who stayed here with Jacques Boucher, treasurer general of Charles I, Duke of Orléans, between 29 April and 9 May 1429 during the siege. The museum founded in 1974 keeps her memory in the city, and its archive collection holds around 37,000 documents on her and her era.

The museum occupies a narrow four-storey brick-and-timber house in the centre of Orléans, a short walk from the cathedral. The ground floor is of pale stone, with three timber-framed storeys above and a dormer on the right of the slate roof. The building is a 1965 reconstruction, so the interior is modern; the archive of some 37,000 documents is a research collection rather than a display.

The museum holds around 37,000 documents on Joan of Arc and her era: books, pamphlets, periodicals, manuscripts, posters, prints from the 16th to the 20th century, and films. This archive is the municipal collection founded in 1974, when the museum opened under the patronage of culture minister André Malraux.

Orléans: history, sights and river walk, exploring the old town and Martroi Square

Orléans still holds surprises, even for those who think they know it well. The Sainte-Croix Cathedral stands in the heart of the city, but it is the old town that draws the eye: narrow streets wind between half-timbered houses, and the squares invite you to sit and watch. Everywhere, history seems...
