Maison dite de Jeanne d'Arc in Orléans, Museum and research center in Orléans, France.
The Maison dite de Jeanne d'Arc is a reconstructed building in Orléans with exhibition halls displaying documents, manuscripts, and personal items. Inside, multimedia presentations and carefully arranged displays tell the story through original materials and historical records.
The original structure was destroyed during German bombing in 1940, and this replacement was built during the 1960s on the same ground. Rebuilding at that exact location preserved the historical significance of where the city's liberator once stayed.
The house is named after the French military leader who liberated the city in 1429 and remains central to Orléans' sense of identity. Visitors experience a space that embodies this historical connection and keeps that memory alive for each new generation.
The museum sits in central Orléans and is easily reached on foot, with accessible entrances for visitors with varying mobility. Guided tours are available in multiple languages and can be arranged ahead of your visit.
A 15-minute film inside the museum presents the life and accomplishments of the military leader and shows how her actions shaped the city over centuries. Many visitors watch this film first before exploring the surrounding galleries.
