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.

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

You can stay overnight here very well and inexpensively in the middle of the town with Pascale and Christophe Mangin (special price for pilgrims with a credencial!). http://www.ferme-rouvau.fr/sejours.html

"Vaucouleurs gained notoriety above all through the French national saint Joan of Arc. She came from neighboring Domrémy to the south and asked for an audience for the first time in May 1428 with Captain Robert de Baudricourt, as the only representative of France in the area At the beginning of February 1429, Jeanne moved into quarters in the Royer house and again unsuccessfully asked the captain for an escort through the territory of enemy Burgundy. Jeanne then moved from Vaucouleurs to Nancy, where she spoke to Duke Charles II of Lorraine and he to her Opportunity advised his mistress to be expelled.On the return journey she visited the church of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port and returned to Vaucouleurs on February 12. On the same day she announced the defeat of the French in the battle fought on the same day of Rouvray (“Day of the Herrings") before Orléans. In the meantime, Baudricourt had sent a message about the mission of the peasant girl to the court of the Dauphin Charles VII in Chinon and then subjected Jeanne to an examination of her faith by a local priest. Having passed these, Baudricourt finally granted her the escort, led by Jean de Metz, with whom Jeanne left Vaucouleurs through the French gate towards Chinon on February 23, 1429."
