Description

"Joan of Arc's Birthplace"
Domremy, France

Joan of Arc was born the daughter of Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romee in this quaint house located in the village of Domremy, France. Joan's parents owned about 50 acres of land and her father supplemented his faarming work with a minor position as a village official. At the time of her birth and throughout her childhood, Domremy was part of an isolated patch of eastern France that had remained loyal to the French crown despite being surrounded by Burgundian held lands. Several local raids by Burgundian and English marauders occurred during her childhood and on one occasion her village was burned.

It was in her father's garden near here that Joan, as a young girl of thirteen or fourteen, experienced her first visitation by "voices" or heavenly messengers who directed her to "save France" from English occupation during the waning years of the Hundred Years War.
