Seen here is the "Église Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc" as Joan of Arc ("The Maid of Orléans", "La Pucelle d'Orléans") was burned at the stake on 30 May 1431 at the age of 19. When I walked from Trier to Vezelay in 2005 I passed through the village of Domremy, where she was born 1412. Today she is a heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. Her statue can be found even in the smallest French village-churches.
