This church is attached to the parish of Sainte-Jeanne-d’Arc and Saint-Elophe of the diocese of Saint-Dié. A sober church with simple architecture, it was reportedly first built in the 14th century, then rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century. Located in the center of the village, next to the Chapel of Beauregard, it contains several statues listed as movable heritage, such as Saint John the Baptist or the Virgin and Child, otherwise known as Notre-Dame de Maxey.

We particularly enjoyed the history of the town, situated on the Meuse River. The beautiful town hall was built in 1847/48 on the site of a monastery in the Italian Renaissance style. In front of the town hall stands the gigantic equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, revered by the French. This cast-iron monument weighs 2.5 tons. Joan is said to have conquered the city. There is also a Joan of Arc Museum in the town.

Vaucouleurs takes its name from this part of the Meuse river, called Val des Couleurs. This Joan of Arc town (dedicated to Joan of Arc) was located a few kilometers from the front during the First World War. Today, it is a charming village with many streams and beautiful forests.

Rails were laid along the canal at the beginning of the 20th century in order to be able to pull ships along the canal with a locomotive. Until then, people or animals took over. Next to the bridge you will find an information board and a little further on an old locomotive.
