[E] Before tragically ending his epic burnt alive in Rouen on 30 May 1431, the route of Joan of Arc from her native village of Domrémy passed through Touraine.
In 1429 she met the dauphin Charles VII at Chinon and ordered him to go to Reims to be crowned King of France.
Before going to liberate Orleans from the English occupation, she went in Sainte-Catherine-de-Fierbois where she received her sword and in Tours, where her armor and banner were made. Jeanne then stayed in the Hôtel de Jean Dupuy, councilor of Queen Yolande d'Aragon, Duchess of Anjou and Touraine.
This commemorative plaque was laid in 1929 (day and month unknown) to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the passage of "the Maid" in the capital of Touraine.
[F] Avant de finir tragiquement son épopée brulée vive à Rouen le 30 mai 1431, le parcours de Jeanne d'Arc depuis son village natal de Domrémy passa par la Touraine.
En 1429 elle rencontre à Chinon le dauphin Charles VII et lui commande de se rendre à Reims pour se faire sacrer Roi de France.
Avant d'aller libérer Orléans de l'occupation anglaise, elle se rendit à Sainte-Catherine-de-Fierbois où elle reçut son épée et à Tours où furent confectionnés son armure et sa bannière. Jeanne séjourne alors dans l'Hôtel de Jean Dupuy, conseiller de la reine Yolande d'Aragon, duchesse d'Anjou et de Touraine.
Cette plaque commémorative a été posée en 1929 (jour et mois inconnus) pour célébrer le 500ème anniversaire du passage de "la Pucelle" dans la capitale turonne.
