Visit the Jeanne d’Arc Museum in Normandy

Since March 2015, Rouen, the city where Joan of Arc was tried and executed, honors her with a special place... and what a place it is! Rouen’s famous archbishop palace, transformed into a museum.

Undeniably symbolic, the building echoes the tragic events endured by the Maid of Orléans during the 15th century.

The Jeanne d’Arc Museum will serve as both a museum and a memorial to recount the historic itinerary of the war leader and one of the Catholic Church's most popular saints.

Multimedia Displays

The Museum’s architectural excellence —Gothic-Roman vaults and 15th century tour— blended with state-of-the-art technology features a unique experience . The 1000 m2 interactive journey incorporates:

  • 3D mapping for landscape and character morphing;
  • projections , including back projections , on the building’s glass and stone surface;
  • audiovisual equipment such as graphic panels , translation aids (available in five languages), and interactive terminals .

This innovative cross between a show and a tour will connect History to the modern world, for a complete immersion.

One Tour, Two Perspectives

At the museum, the public is offered a chance to (re)discover Joan of Arc, but also the story behind the creation and evolution of her myth.

The Museum’s tour is split in two perspectives : L’épopée de Jeanne d’Arc (The Epic of Joan of Arc), and the Mythotèque , an area dedicated to the study of Joan of Arc’s legend.

The Tale of the Maid of Orléans

Spread across seven areas, the creative multimedia course plunges visitors at the heart of the fiery 15th century.

You become a detective as well as a spectator in the extraordinary tale of a gripping legal prosecution . About 20 actors reenact the hearing which includes historic testimonies from the original trial transcripts .

The enthralling 75-minute circuit combines gothic architecture with the latest technology to depict the tragic fate of the woman who shaped France’s destiny.

Discover the Myth

In the three rooms dedicated to the legend surrounding the French Heroine, the Mythothèque offers the keys to an engaging debate on historiography and politics . The perspective observes how history and people assimilated, integrated, memorized, and over time, transformed Joan of Arc’s narrative.

This second interactive circuit introduces Jeanne de la République (Joan of the Republic), the Catholic Church, historians, and the art objects she inspired. The space presents a film , as well as rich documentation available for individual consultation in five languages.

And… a Bonus!

Before you leave, be sure to drop by the beautiful Salle des Etats , and the incandescent Aubigne Chapel of the archdiocese.

The two completely renovated 18th century buildings will hold temporary exhibitions, concerts, conventions, and more .

Visit Tour Jeanne d'Arc

A visit to the Tour Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Arc Tower) is a journey through centuries of Rouen and Normandy history. Learn about the trials and imprisonment of French heroine Joan of Arc, and the tower’s involvement in World War II. The Tour Jeanne d’Arc is the former keep and the last remaining part of Rouen Castle, built in 1204 by King Philippe Auguste of France.

Today’s tower is a 19th-century restoration of the original, which fell into despair after the demolition of Rouen Castle in 1590. Step inside to find a scale model of the former castle and see artifacts that retell the life, trial and death of Joan of Arc. As part of her trial, officials brought her to the tower in December 1430 and threatened her with torture.

Climb the spiral staircase to the tower’s second floor and peer out of the narrow windows across Rouen’s rooftops. Study the model of Rouen, which gives an impression of how the city looked during the English raids of 1418 to 1419.

Stand outside the tower and imagine a time when it was part of a 13th-century stronghold. Today’s surrounding Parisian-style buildings present an interesting contrast to the historical events witnessed by the tower. It was a lookout during the Hundred Years War and a German-occupied bunker during World Ware II.

The tower sits to the north of Rouen’s historic city center. Public buses and trams stop nearby while Rouen’s central train station is just a 5-minute walk away. Combine your visit to the tower with a visit to two museums in the area. Spot art from the 1400s to the present day at the Musée des Beaux-Arts (Museum of Fine Arts). Discover the craft of blacksmithing at the Musée le Secq des Tournelles.

The Tour Jeanne d’Arc is open from Wednesday to Monday, except for selected public holidays. It also closes at lunchtime, so time your visit accordingly. There is an admission fee with free admission offered to visitors under age 18. Guided tours of the tower are available, for a fee. Find more details on the tower’s official website.

Visit the Joan of Arc Museum (Historial) in Rouen

by Claire ROBINSON , Region Lovers | June 16, 2023 | no intrusive ads, no sponsored content, just some affiliate links - if you use them, we get a small commission (read more)

Just passing through Rouen? We strongly recommend a visit to the Joan of Arc Museum (historial) in Rouen . Located in the archiepiscopal palace in the heart of the medieval quarter, it has been open since 2015.

Through an immersive journey , the visitor can discover the story of Joan of Arc , from the end of her life to her posterity . Indeed, the palace itself was the setting for Joan of Arc’s 2 trials, and it was on the Place du Vieux-Marché that she was burned alive in 1431. With 1,000m2 dedicated to a spectacular and innovative visit , we’re convinced that the Historial will become a must-see in Rouen!

In this article, we’ll give you some tips on how to plan your visit to this unusual museum.

This review is completely independent , we visited anonymously and paid our admission in full.

Why visit the Historial Jeanne d’Arc?

Is the joan of arc museum worth it our opinion:.

Certainly! You’ll be truly immersed in the 15th century. We enjoyed learning more about the story of Joan of Arc in a fun, educational and immersive way. The 2nd part of the tour is dedicated to the study of Joan of Arc’s posteriority. We found it very interesting, as museums don’t usually offer visitors a critical look at how history is written.

View of a projection in the old galley.

Why is the Historial famous?

The Historial is France’s largest museum dedicated to Joan of Arc. What’s more, it’s located in Rouen’s archiepiscopal palace, where the 2 trials of the Pucelle d’Orléans took place.

View of the historial entrance.

What we liked best

It’s hard to choose what we liked best about our visit, so innovative was it. But here are a few of our favorites:

  • The second trial of Joan of Arc: the originality of the staging and the changes of rooms make it easier to grasp and retain the historical information!
  • The panorama from the Tour du Guet: the climb to the top of the Tour du Guet is well worth it: it offers superb views of Rouen’s main monuments.
  • The cabinet of curiosities: we found this a very amusing space, displaying all sorts of unusual objects bearing the effigy of Joan of Arc!

Practical tips and map: Joan of Arc Museum, France.

How to get there

Traffic in Rouen is difficult, especially at rush hour. If you’re coming from the Paris region or Normandy, prefer the train. Rouen railway station has a regular TER line serving Paris (between 1h15 and 1h30) and the main towns in Normandy (Caen, Le Havre…).

See available timetables and book your train and coach tickets now .

The Historial is located in the city center. From Rouen Rive Droite SNCF station, it’s just a 15-minute walk. You can also take public transport, which will take you to the front of the museum in around ten minutes:

  • Metro line: Théâtre des arts station.
  • TEOR bus lines: 1, 2, 3 Cathédrale stop.
  • Fast bus line: F2, F7 Stop Beaux-Arts.
  • Bus line 11: République stop.

Last but not least, you can rent bicycles in the city 24/7. Here are the Cy’clic stations near the museum:

  • Station 1: Rue Jeanne d’Arc.
  • Station 4: Allée Eugène Delacroix.
  • Station 5: Rue de l’Hôpital.
  • Station 9: Rue de la République.

View of the station.

The Historial – Musée Jeanne d’Arc has no parking facilities. It can be very difficult to find a parking space in the center of Rouen. We advise you to use the nearby pay parking lots:

  • Cathedral parking lot : 5min walk from the Historial.
  • Hôtel de Ville parking lot : 5min walk from the Historial.
  • Parking Opéra – Rouen Normandie: 5min walk from the Historial.

OUR ADVICE FOR RENTING A CAR IN Normandy

  • Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
  • Choose a car that is comfortable enough (distances can be long) but compact (some parking lots and villages are narrow).
  • Think of the complete insurance (some roads are tortuous and narrow).
  • There is a lot of demand, book it early .

How long to visit the museum and main difficulties

This tour takes 2 hours. The immersive multimedia tour of the Joan of Arc epic lasts 1h15. The other areas are quicker to visit, but you should allow at least 30 minutes. You can visit them independently of the immersive tour. This may be a solution to consider for people suffering from hypersensitivity. In our opinion, the spectacular staging can be hard to bear for this audience.

The ground is not particularly difficult, except for the Watchtower staircase. Being from the outset, the climb can seem steep. The Watchtower is the only space inaccessible to people with reduced mobility. A wheelchair is available at reception. Multimedia facilities are available for the visually impaired and blind (audiodescription tour) and for the hearing impaired (subtitling of dialogues on tablet, tour fully translated into French sign language).

The toilets are located just after the rooms dedicated to the immersive tour. There’s a store on the first floor.

View of the store.

Advice on how to visit

There is only one way to visit. You won’t be able to start your visit whenever you like. When you arrive at reception, you’ll find a digital counter showing the time remaining before the start of the next immersive tour. Once you’ve completed this tour, you’ll find yourself in the rooms devoted to Joan of Arc’s exploits, then in the attic where you’ll relive her rehabilitation trial and martyrdom, followed by the watchtower, the Mythotheque, the cabinet of curiosities and Aubigné’s chapel.

Remember that the Mythothèque rooms can be accessed independently of the classic tour route.

An innovative journey: the epic of Joan of Arc

Immersion at the heart of the 1st trial.

You’ll be charmed from the moment you enter the museum, which opens onto a courtyard dotted with sculptures. You can wait in the glassed-in, walk-through reception area. In fact, we spent some time watching the digital counter indicating our waiting time before we could begin our visit. In this vaulted room, you’ll see projections that explain the historical context of Joan of Arc’s time. We were already transported to the 15th century!

View of the first room of the tour.

We then moved into the next room, a Gothic crypt with benches. Soon the projection began, and a character addressed us. Juvénal des Ursins, a 15th-century lawyer and politician, explains the origins and mission of Joan of Arc. It also plunges us into the history of Joan of Arc’s judicial investigation. We are immersed in a wooded setting, in a castle, or in the medieval city of Chinon.

View of the immersive course with juvénal des Ursins.

Some of the 120 people who testified at the time are presented here. Next, our virtual guide Juvenal des Ursins invites us to move on to the next rooms, devoted to Joan of Arc’s rehabilitation trial, for which he was the main instigator. You then move on to the next stage of the tour.

View of the projection with a witness.

The rehabilitation trial

From the Gothic crypt, we take a staircase that leads to a landing and a new vaulted room. An information panel explains that, after having been at the heart of the investigation and trial of 1431, we’re now going to discover the rehabilitation trial of Joan of Arc in 1456. Benches surround the pillars. We sit down for another viewing. New witnesses take the floor, while medieval representations follow one another in the picture. We witness Joan of Arc’s meeting with the King. His feats of arms are mentioned in greater detail in the next room.

View of a projected medieval performance.

In the next room, you’ll find a set of touch-sensitive tablets, surrounded by a chronological frieze (Joan of Arc’s assault on Paris, the siege of Orleans, etc.). This is enhanced by a projection of Joan of Arc’s historic exploits (the coronation of King Charles VII at Reims, the Battle of Orleans…) to free the people from English occupation. Maps and battle scenes transport us into this tormented period, making it easier to understand. Time was running out, but we soon had to take the stairs back up to the roof of the palace.

View of a battle scene.

The martyrdom of Joan of Arc

On the way up, we enjoyed fine views of the chevet of Rouen’ s splendid cathedral . We then moved into a large attic space equipped with benches and a projector. Little did we know that we were in the most sensational room of the immersive tour. We were plunged into darkness. The sound of crackling flames invaded our screens, startling us. We witnessed Joan of Arc’s condemnation and felt as if we were at the stake!

Vue martyre de jeanne d'arc.

The projection ends with our guide Juvenal des Ursins talking about the rehabilitation trial of 1456. This room, which we found very spectacular and do not recommend for hypersensitive visitors, marks the end of the immersive tour. The next space contains explanatory and synthetic panels. They discuss the witnesses we heard at the trials, the political situation after Joan of Arc’s death, and offer a glimpse of what lies ahead for the rest of the tour.

View of the explanatory panels.

The Mythotheque

The Mythothèque comprises three rooms housing archival documents and multimedia devices. This tour highlights the posterity of Joan of Arc. On display are history textbooks and representations of this young woman sanctified over the centuries.

View of the first room of the mythotheque.

We found the next room very interesting, dedicated to historians and their study of this figure, which has sometimes served as an emblem and given rise to numerous fables. Chronicles from the 15th century onwards mention La Pucelle d’Orléans, until the 19th century, when Joan of Arc became a national icon. These are the historians of the 21st century whom we were able to interview in the small adjoining room.

View of the story of Joan of Arc.

We were pleasantly surprised to see historians appear digitally in front of a library. Buttons and headsets allow you to put questions to each of these specialist Joan of Arc researchers (Colette Beaune, Philippe Contamine, Anne Curry and Olivier Bouzy). In our opinion, it’s fun, educational and innovative, and creates a close link between the world of research and visitors.

View on digital historians.

The Cabinet of Curiosities

After the Mythothèque, here we are again in an atypical place, a cabinet of curiosities! This collection of objects of all kinds comes from the Camille Vallery-Radot collection, the second largest in France. In the 19th century, Joan of Arc enthusiast Camille Vallery-Radot (1880-1927) opened a museum in her home dedicated to the Pucelle d’Orléans. Over the years, it has collected almost 2,600 books and brochures, 3,500 iconographic documents, 3,600 newspaper and magazine articles, as well as 500 objects of all kinds. On her death, she bequeathed her collection to the city of Rouen.

View of the cabinet of curiosities.

We were able to see film posters, plates engraved with the heroine’s effigy, a view on projector glass from the last century, and most surprising of all, a coulommiers tin featuring Joan of Arc on its lid!

The Archiepiscopal Palace

First floor rooms.

We’ve already talked about the Historial’s innovative visitor itinerary, and now we need to remind you that it takes place in a beautiful setting: the archiepiscopal palace. This palace was built in the 13th century in Gothic style. The initiative came from Guillaume de Flavacourt, bishop and archbishop of Rouen at the time. This forms a whole with the cathedral, the only one still standing in France today. The Historial occupies only a dozen rooms in the palace, as the archbishop’s palace has retained its functions.

View of the archbishop's palace from the cathedral.

As soon as you enter the museum, you’ll see the remains of the great hall, known as the “Officialité”. Built in the 13th century, it was in this room that Joan of Arc’s sentences of condemnation and rehabilitation were pronounced during her 2 trials. Today, all that remains is the north gable and the footprint of this space, materialized by the inner courtyard.

Front view of the achiepiscopal palace.

You’ll discover the basement rooms, starting with the Romanesque crypt. It dates back to the 12th century, when Archbishop Guillaume Bonne-Ame built an elegant residence. The crypt is the only vestige. You then enter the lovely 13th-century Gothic crypt, a vestige of Guillaume de Flavacourt’s palace.

View of the Gothic crypt.

Back on the first floor, you may be surprised, as we were, to see 2 large fireplaces. That’s normal, because these are the old kitchens! This is the most recent part of the palace, dating back to the 15th century. Guillaume d’Estouteville, Archbishop of Rouen from 1453 to 1483, was at the origin of this project. The adjoining room, the former pantry, also dates from the 15th century. Dishes were prepared and stored here.

View of the old pantry.

Les Combles and the Watchtower

After moving through the crypts and former kitchens of the archiepiscopal palace, we take the Estouteville staircase up to the attic. In the 15th century, this 24-step spiral staircase was the only way to reach the main floor and the Salle des Etats.

View of the spiral staircase.

We were delighted to be able to sit in the attic after our tiring ascent of this beautiful staircase. The grand comble was created when the Salle des Etats was raised by half a storey in the 18th century. This accentuated its ceiling height, in keeping with the architectural fashion of the time. The small attic also dates from the 18th century.

View of the large attic.

After this well-deserved break, we climbed up to the Watchtower. This Gothic tower is a vestige of Guillaume de Flavacourt’s palace. At the top, it offers a splendid panoramic view over the roofs of Rouen and the cathedral . We enjoyed it! The orientation table helped us spot our favorite monuments in the Normandy capital.

Our favorite view was of Rouen Cathedral, but we also really enjoyed the view of the Abbey of Saint-Ouen!

The State Hall

On his arrival as the new archbishop, Guillaume d’Estouville decided to demolish the former archbishop’s residence and rebuild it. As we have already seen, he was responsible for the kitchens, the spiral staircase and a large audience and ceremonial room. It’s known as the Salle des Etats (State Hall) because it was the venue for the States of Normandy during the Ancien Régime. In other words, the clergy, nobility and Third Estate met here to vote on taxes and pass on the King’s grievances. When it was enlarged in the 18th century, it was completely restored.

This room is now open to the public, except in exceptional cases. At the time of our visit, it was unfortunately closed for ceremonies.

La Chapelle d’Aubigné

The visit to the Historial – Musée Jeanne d’Arc ends in a magnificent space: the Chapelle d’Aubigné. This chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary was built in the early 18th century. This was done at the request of the archbishop of the time, Monseigneur Claude-Maur d’Aubigné. To achieve this, he had the 13th-century episcopal chapel demolished. The Chapelle d’Aubigné now stands above the Gothic crypt. We particularly liked this light-filled space, with its eight large windows. With its paving and classical, elegant decoration, this is the most precious part of the palace.

On the Historical Trail of Joan of Arc in France

By: Author Sophie Nadeau

Last Updated on 4th January 2022 by Sophie Nadeau

Joan of Arc, otherwise known in French as ‘Jeanne d’Arc’ is a historical French heroine and a woman who changed the face of France, and of French history. Often nicknamed the ‘Maid of Orleans’ , d’Arc was a woman who led uprisings in a time when men ruled for the most part and l’Hexagon was at war with the English. Now a canonised saint, here’s a quick guide to following in the footsteps on the trail of Joan of Arc in France…

Best things to do in Rouen, Normandy, Northern France! Acitivites, places to go and history to see in Rouen.

A brief history of Joan of Arc

Domremy, vosges, grand-est, provins, île de france, senlis, oise, hauts-de-france, compiegne, oise, hauts-de-france, auxerre, burgundy, rouen, normandy, sens, bourgogne franche-comte, reims, grand est, enjoyed reading about on the trail of joan of arc in france pin it now, read it again later:.

Prior to her involvement in the Hundred Year War, Jeanne d’Arc was a regular girl from the French countryside whose parents made their living from the land. As a devout Christian, she regularly worshipped in her local church and attended services on a weekly basis.

Born sometime in 1412 (she was unsure as to her exact birthday, but may have been born on the 6th January) , she died at aged just 19 years old on May 30 th , 1431.

15th-century miniature of joan of arc

From a young age, Jeanne d’Arc said that she received visions from God, as well as several saints, and felt that she was being compelled to lead a French army against the English during the Hundred Year War.

Two of the Saints Joan of Arc said she communicated with were Catherine of Alexandria and St. Margaret of Antioch, both of whom were women who refused to obey the orders of men. A small patch of countryside just a few kilometres from her hometown of Domremy is where she would go to contemplate.

Now, an ornate basilica constructed in her honour now sits on site. Joan of Arc was incredibly gifted in the art of persuasion and so in March of 1429, she made her way to the Loire Valley, together with an older relative.

Once among the grand châteaux which still populate the countryside of the Loire Valley to this day, she somehow managed to swing an audience with King of the time, Charles VI.

So persuasive was she, that eventually, aged just 17, she ended up leading an army to victory against the English in Orleans. For the following two years, she would lead army after army to military victory…

On the historical trail of Joan of Arc in France

Joan of Arc was born in a small, yet tightly knit community to the South of Paris which has since been renamed Domrémy-la-Pucelle (Dómremy of the Maiden) in honour of d’Arc.

Located in the Vosges department of the Grand-Est region of France, today you can still visit the very house where Jeanne d’Arc was born, as well as the church where she regularly attended church services.

A mass is still held in the Catholic place of worship on a weekly basis. Elsewhere in the village, there’s a museum chronicling the life of Jeanne d’Arc as well as her many military achievements. Other things to see and do in Domremy include countryside walks and taking trips to other quaint towns in the Vosges.

On the trail of Joan of Arc in France: Domremy

The pretty former medieval city of Provins is now a large town in the Île de France region and is an easy day trip from Paris. As the city was incredibly important during medieval times, Joan of Arc travelled through the French settlement at least once. A highly devout woman, she attended mass in the basilica during her travels and a small plaque to the exterior of the entrance commemorates this occasion.

Provins to Paris: a medieval city day trip from Paris, France for if you love history and architecture. Day trip from Paris to the Île de France region.

Throughout France, there are plenty of memorials, plaques, and dedications to the now canonised Joan of Arc. During her lifetime, she crisscrossed l’Hexagon while partaking in various military campaigns and leading the armies she led to countless victories.

Within the stunning Senlis cathedral, you’ll find a plaque dedicated to the memory of Joan of Arc. Just a few kilometres outside of Senlis, on the plains of Senlis, is the site of a field where Joan of Arc led an army to victory against the Duke of Bedford.

Cathédrale Notre Dame de Senlis

In a small town not far from the medieval city of Senlis, Joan of Arc was captured by rebellious Burgundian armies, who at that time were collaborating with the English while she was helping to defend the town from the aforementioned armies. The reward for her capture was 10,000 Livre tournois (a currency used during the Middle Ages).

Compiegne, France

Just one simple small plaque on the side of Auxerre cathedral announces that ‘yes,’ Joan of Arc once passed through the city. As the capital of the Yonne department and one of the largest cities in Burgundy, it should come as no surprise that there are plenty of things to do and even more attractions to see when it comes to Auxerre.

But what you may not know is that Jeanne d’Arc actually passed through the Burgundian city twice. The first was en route between Vaucouleurs to go to Chinon when she stopped at the Etienne Cathedral to attend mass, while her second visit to the city was markedly more difficult.

During her voyage towards Reims, Joan of Arc was walking the route with King Charles VII when the residents of Auxerre refused to let them into the walled city. They only relented when offered money!

Now the capital of the Normandy region of France, Rouen is an ancient city characterised by its countless timber-framed houses, ancient churches, and endless maze of cobbled lanes.

The city is worthy of a visit on any trip through Northern France and if you’re looking to follow the trail of Joan of Arc in France, then you definitely have to head to Rouen, where d’Arc’s trial took place.

During the trial of Jeanne d’Arc, she was accused of many things by the English and corroborating Burgundian armies, including of witchcraft and heresy. The trial was overseen by the Duke of Bedford and the Earl of Warwick, two prominent political figures of the time.

On the 30th May 1431, it’s alleged that Joan of Arc was executed, though plenty of later reports suggest (and we can only hope) that she managed to get away to safety. That being said, many eyewitness accounts say that d’Arc was burned at the stake following a largely unfair trial before her body was burned multiple times (to prevent relics being created) and her ashes thrown in the Seine.

Just twenty years following her untimely death and execution, a retrial of Joan of Arc was held. She was found innocent of all charges. In 1920, Joan of Arc was canonised and has since become a symbol of freedom in France. Now, tens of thousands of works have been written about her and she is remembered as having had an unwavering faith and a belief in France…

Located to the South of Paris, the pretty town of Sens has little by way of attractions and instead is more popular among French tourists. Home to a cathedral where Thomas a Becket once sought refuge, you can easily see the best of the town over the course of a day or two. During Joan of Arc’s travels through France, she passed through Sens. Today, a small plaque remembers this in the heart of the city.

Sens Cathedral, Burgundy, France

So important is Reims in the life and story of Joan of Arc, and her impact on France, that Reims has a large statue dedicated to the French heroine right outside of its grand Gothic cathedral.

Jeanne d’Arc’s liberation of Reims Cathedral , following the journey of her march to Reims, was the reason which Charles VII was able to be crowned King of France. For more inspiration, be sure to check out our guide to the best things to do in Reims.
