Place du Martroi

Place du Martroi is Orléans's central public square, marked by an equestrian statue of Joan of Arc. It is a useful pause in the city center.

Why go

The statue makes the city's connection to Joan of Arc visible in everyday public space. Stand back to see how the monument anchors the square, then look at the surrounding urban setting. It works as a brief orientation point rather than an attraction requiring a long visit.

What to look for

  • Stand at the symbolic heart of Orléans and examine its historic monument.

Useful to know

  • Circle the public square to view the Joan of Arc statue from more than one side.
