Until now, there was no representation of Jean d'Orléans (or Jehan de Dunois) in the city. The artist drew inspiration from the City’s archives, such as the Media Library’s heritage collection.
A glass of friendship will then be offered in the gardens of the Maison Lumière, at the Société dunoise. Rendezvous in front of the castle.

About the location

Château de Châteaudun

Château de Châteaudun, 28200 Châteaudun

Eure-et-Loir
Centre-Val de Loire

Between Tours(Towers) and Chartres, in boundaries of the plain of Beauce and at the edge of the valley of the Loir(Dormouse), built on a rocky spur, the princely castle of Jehan de Dunois, thought «the illegitimate child of Orléans» and companion(journeyman) of Jeanne d'Arc, offers to the visitors a real journey in time. Overhanging the Loir(Dormouse) of more than 60 metres, one (Re) will discover a succession of elements of medieval, Gothic architecture and Renaissance of an exceptional authenticity and of gardens inviting in dawdling.
