Photo TidbitsChurch Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc Rouen France
By Jim and Emmy Humberd
The Church of Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc was built in 1979 at the Old Market Square, where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431. The execution spot, marked by a silver cross, is on the opposite side of the church from this market. These stained glass windows were salvaged from Saint Vincent's Church, destroyed by bombs during WW II.
Walk a few blocks on Rue du GrosHorloge, a bustling pedestrian street, pass through an arch below the GrosHorloge, or Great Clock, and you will soon arrive at Place de la Cathédrale, with Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, immortalized by the impressionist painter, Claude Monet.
The lady in the foreground is not St. Joan, that's St. Emmy. She's in no danger of the stake!
