Joan of Arc died at the age of seventeen in Rouen, after a thoroughly fascinating career as a warrior, changing the face of France forever, socially, politically and religiously. Her extreme bravery at such a young age has served as an inspiration to the French people, and others who’ve heard her story for many centuries since her death in the early 16th Century. She is celebrated in Orléans because she famously stayed in the city and was put up in the little wooden house that has been reconstructed nearby.
