It is a place of worship dedicated to Sainte Jehanne situated next to her martyrdom site; it is therefore very moving. More

From a distance on the outside, a friend and I had no idea what the hat shaped building was. Once we got closer, we realized it was a church and decided to go inside. The entire wall of stain glass was amazing to see. I recommend a 20 minute visit if you're in Rouen. More

Very impressive - not so big but very modern and well done. In-keeping with the adjacent market. All the tours go there. And it's free. More

What a beautiful modern church in memory of a saint that was burned on a spire just outside it's entrance. Fabulous design and architecture as a contrast to the old. More

Very modern, large and intriguing. The square around has loads of restaurants around it and it's seconds away from some of the other sites More

We didn't know that Eglise Jeanne d'Arc existed when my husband and I visited Rouen to see the very spot that Joan was burnt. I was elated to find out that this church had been built in Joan's honour. It has quite a remarkable architecture, huge beautiful stain glass, a statue of Joan on the outside and inside (pictured below),... More
