Joan of Arc Was Here!

We are here is because Joan came here. On 13 September 1429, a few days after her army's retreat from the gates of Paris, she resignedly donated her armor here. She left it at the feet of the statue of the Virgin.

She obeyed her new King, who ordered the retreat and disbanded his army. The King even had his own army's bridge across the Seine blown up to make sure Joan would obey him. Joan was not happy when she left here.
