Nice chapel. Jean d'Arc often prayed in the crypt.

Vaucouleurs plays an important role in the story of Joan of Arc. It is the place where, in 1429, Joan of Arc convinced Robert de Baudricourt, commander of the garrison, to send her with an escort to Chinon to meet the Dauphin Charles (later King Charles VII of France). . This encounter was crucial in beginning their mission to liberate France during the Hundred Years' War. In Vaucouleurs there are several historical sites linked to Joan of Arc, including the Porte de France, through which she passed on her way to Chinon, as well as a museum dedicated to her.

The Porte de France in Vaucouleurs is a medieval gate that marks the departure of Joan of Arc from the Château de Vaucouleurs in 1429. You can admire the architecture of the gate and the chapel, as well as the statue of Joan of Arc and the old lime tree that, according to legend, his horse would have nibbled. You can also explore the remains of the castle and the museum dedicated to the heroine.

Around the church you can still find the remains of the old castle. A gate is still preserved and you can go through it. You can still see parts of the walls.

An evening walk across the bridge to the neighboring town of Vaucouleurs is also worthwhile. There is a supermarket and various restaurants.
