Accompanied by a guide, you will understand the history of the church and its exceptional cycle of stained glass windows that retraces in image the epic of Joan of Arc.
This church, the first parish to be named after Joan of Arc shortly after her beatification (1909) and before her canonization (1920), contains the world’s largest collection of Johannine stained glass windows.
Of the 28 stained glass windows of the church, 26 relate with a great pedagogical sense the epic of the Maid of Domremy until her beatification.
This cycle includes unique scenes, without equivalent in Johannine iconography. He strikes by his shimmering colors, the quality of his drawing and his inscription in the artistic current of the Ecole de Nancy, both in terms of floral decors and techniques used.
