"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."

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.

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.

Exterior is more interesting than inside. Movie is informative. Exposition is minimalistic. Worth a visit if you don't have anything else to do and you want to learn something about Jeanne.

At the Jeanne d'Arc house they show a film of Jeanne's story. Hall for two dozen people. The film is in French, but you can take headphones with translation at the reception.

Great place to gain a 15 minute overview of the epic French Heroine Joan d'Arc. Multimedia research area is also available but did not review.

This is a place where Jeanne d'Arc stayed for 10 days in 1423. Restaurated , but still looks very fragile

Very nice architecture, loved the exterior. Inside you find a multimedia room.

Absolute scam. A fake house constructed on a site that Joan of Arc probably never even visited. €6 for a 10 minute video you can find on YouTube, in French with a dodgy English translation headset that feeds back loudly in your ear every 10 seconds. Relatively small info board that’s all in French anyway, clueless person at the front desk, you can’t even go upstairs into the house and see the archives without an appointment. Absolute joke, don’t waste your money. They say you can use the ticket in other museums but what use is that if you’ve already done them?? AVOID.
