GR®703 Jeanne d'Arc historic path
From Toul (Meurthe-et-Moselle) to Bagneux-la-Fosse (Aube)
|
|
Joan of Arc, nicknamed "the Maid of Orléans," is one of the most emblematic figures in French history. Born around 1412 in Domrémy-la-Pucelle, a small village in Lorraine, she played a crucial role during the Hundred Years' War, a major conflict between France and England that lasted from 1337 to 1453. The GR®703 is particularly significant as it allows hikers to immerse themselves in the history of Joan of Arc while discovering the beauty of the French landscapes. The route begins in Toul, a historic town, and passes through several villages and sites that marked Joan's life. Choloy-Ménillot, a charming village where Joan likely spent time in her youth. Vaucouleurs, where she gained support to meet the dauphin Charles VII. The town is rich in history and offers several monuments to explore. Domrémy-la-Pucelle, Joan's birthplace, where the church where she was baptized is located. It is an important memorial site for those wishing to understand her origins and spiritual journey. Chalaines and Montigny-lès-Vaucouleurs, picturesque villages that reflect the local architecture and the rural setting of Joan's time.
