The beautiful Basilica of Bois-Chenu or Ste-Jeanne-d'Arc is a Roman Catholic church in Domrémy-la-Pucelle in the Grand Est region of France.

Located on the hill above the village of Domrémy, the basilica is the national monument of France's recognition of Joan of Arc. The cornerstone of the building was laid on November 3, 1881, in the immediate vicinity of where Jeanne is said to have heard the voices.

The single-nave church was built in a free neo-Romanesque style on a cruciform plan. The high tower is oriented towards the Maas valley with an arcade on both sides and is illuminated in the evening. A figure of Joan of Arc rises on the lantern above the crossing dome. The building is characterized by its polychromy, consisting of an alternation of pink granite from the Vosges and limestone from Euville on the Meuse.

In the square in front of the basilica there are several statues, in particular: Joan offering herself to God to fulfill her task (work by the sculptor Messer, donated in 1946 by the government of the Canadian province of Quebec) and Joan and her voices by the sculptor André-Joseph Allar from the year 1894.

And another overnight tip:
There is also cheap accommodation for pilgrims (€26.00) right next to the church. Extremely friendly and helpful, clear recommendation!
