Historial Jeanne d’Arc
About
The Historial Jeanne d'Arc, nestled in Rouen’s historic quarter on Rue Saint Romain, invites visitors to step back into the pivotal era of Joan of Arc’s trial and the 15th‑century French court. The museum blends a digital immersive journey through the Archevêché chambers with interactive displays about the life, trial, and legacy of France’s national heroine. Visitors move from the Gothic crypt to the grand gallery, following 23 witnesses’ narratives, while multimedia tables and a dedicated Mythothèque offer deeper context. Designed to merge historic architecture with modern technology, the site provides a compelling blend of storytelling and education that appeals to history lovers, families, and school groups alike. The immersive experience, coupled with on‑site commentary and multilingual audio guides, ensures that both seasoned historians and casual visitors can appreciate the drama and significance of the 1456 trial. Opening hours run from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Sunday, with the last departure of the digital tour at 5:15 pm. A free entrance is available for children under six, and a reduced rate applies throughout the day for eligible visitors.
