Joan, Maid of Orleans – Jeanne d'Arc

215_joan_arcThere are many statues of Joan of Arc in various towns and villages in France but this is the one in the middle of Orleans. The last time I photographed it, there was a funfair. Perhaps you remember. I’ve copied the photo below.
Il y a beaucoup de statue de Jeanne d’Arc dans différents villages et villes en France mais celle-ci se trouve au centre d’Orléans. La dernière fois que je l’a photographie, il y avait une fête foraine. J’ai recopié la photo ci-dessous.

I saw and admired the gilded one several times as the Tour de France whizzed around the last laps in Paris. There she has, apparently, lost her halo.
