We particularly enjoyed the history of the town, situated on the Meuse River. The beautiful town hall was built in 1847/48 on the site of a monastery in the Italian Renaissance style. In front of the town hall stands the gigantic equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, revered by the French. This cast-iron monument weighs 2.5 tons. Joan is said to have conquered the city. There is also a Joan of Arc Museum in the town.

Vaucouleurs plays an important role in the story of Joan of Arc. It is the place where, in 1429, Joan of Arc convinced Robert de Baudricourt, commander of the garrison, to send her with an escort to Chinon to meet the Dauphin Charles (later King Charles VII of France). . This encounter was crucial in beginning their mission to liberate France during the Hundred Years' War. In Vaucouleurs there are several historical sites linked to Joan of Arc, including the Porte de France, through which she passed on her way to Chinon, as well as a museum dedicated to her.

The Chapelle Sainte-Anne de Broyes is a small chapel dating from the 19th century, nestled in the woods near Epiez-sur-Meuse. It was built on the site of an ancient hermitage and is dedicated to Saint Anne, the patroness of mothers and grandmothers. Every year, on July 26, a pilgrimage is organized in his honor.

Vaucouleurs takes its name from this part of the Meuse river, called Val des Couleurs. This Joan of Arc town (dedicated to Joan of Arc) was located a few kilometers from the front during the First World War. Today, it is a charming village with many streams and beautiful forests.

Located on the Chemin de saint Jacques de Compostelle towards Greux/Fruze. The Marie is on the opposite side in a small building. Very unassuming.
