The commemorative plaque<\/h2>\n

The Porte Madeleine<\/strong> has existed since the 17th century. When Joan of Arc stormed the town, it was a rampart, not a gateway. It is said that she put down her ladder and climbed up the steps. At the moment of the assault, she was hit in the head by a large stone. She fell but quickly returned to the assault.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”400736″ alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Guillonnet.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”542884″ alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
