38,24 km cycling route from Neufchâteau to Vaucouleurs
En route for Joan of Arc's home region! You'll be discovering Domremy-la-Pucelle, the home village of this young girl destined for great things. Two must-see sites: the basilica of Saint Jeanne d’Arc, with an outstanding view over the meandering river Meuse, and her home, located in the centre of the village where you can discover the Middle Ages at first hand. Finally, your journey will take you to Vaucouleurs, the town which gave arms to Joan and where her saga began. While here, you can also discover the fascinating museum dedicated to her.
