The Basilica of Bois-Chenu (Roman Catholic) is a gigantic monument in Domremy-La-Pucelle. It is also called the Basilica of Sainte Joan of Arc. It is located about 11 km from Neufchâteau on an idyllic hill in the Vosges Mountains. From this wooded hill, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Meuse Valley, surrounded by numerous blooming orchids. The birthplace of France's national heroine is also nearby. The massive basilica was built from pink granite from the Vosges Mountains! Bronzes of Joan of Arc and her family stand in the forecourt of the basilica.

The Meuse Cycle Route from source to mouth is worth experiencing! Pure idyll through the Vosges and Ardennes to the flat countryside. Historic towns and cities. The cycle path is newly constructed and excellently signposted. Perfect 👌

The source of the Meuse River is located in Pouilly-en-Bassigny (409 m), about 32 km by bike from Langres. Information boards have been set up here, and a lovely rest area has been created. The waters flow gently, almost sleepily, from the source of the Meuse and wind their way through stunning landscapes from the Vosges Mountains through Belgium's Ardennes to the flatlands of the Netherlands, 1,000 km to Rotterdam. Breathtaking nature, historic towns, and, above all, a magnificent cycle path.

Joan of Arc was a resistance fighter during the Hundred Years' War, an armed conflict between England and France. She is venerated as the Maid of Orleans in France. It is said that Joan was a very young, small woman dressed in men's clothing with short hair. From an early age, she was guided by divine voices. In 1431, she was sentenced to death for witchcraft and burned at the stake at the age of just 19. In 1920, she was canonized by the Pope. Statues, monuments, and museums in her honor can be found throughout the country.
