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.

⚜️ The Story of Joan of Arc ⚜️ She was born in Domrémy-la-Pucelle in 1412 to a peasant family. At the age of 13, she began hearing voices telling her to save France from the English. She left her village to seek help from King Charles VII and reclaim the French throne. Joan of Arc successfully convinced King Charles VII to grant her an army. She led this army to several victories against the English, including the liberation of Orléans in 1429. This victory marked a turning point in the Hundred Years' War and led to the defeat of the English. Joan of Arc was captured by the English in 1430. She was tried and burned at the stake in 1431 in Rouen. However, her popularity continued to grow after her death. She was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920.

The Basilica of Bois-Chenu (Roman Catholic) is a gigantic monument in Domremy-La-Pucelle. It is also called the Basilica of Sainte Joan of Arc. It is located about 11 km from Neufchâteau on an idyllic hill in the Vosges Mountains. From this wooded hill, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Meuse Valley, surrounded by numerous blooming orchids. The birthplace of France's national heroine is also nearby. The massive basilica was built from pink granite from the Vosges Mountains! Bronzes of Joan of Arc and her family stand in the forecourt of the basilica.

A beautiful Roman Catholic basilica built in honor of Joan of Arc, a very young resistance fighter during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Accused of witchcraft at just 19 years old, she was tortured and burned at the stake. She was later beatified and canonized, and is venerated by the French people to this day.
