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.

Rails were laid along the canal at the beginning of the 20th century in order to be able to pull ships along the canal with a locomotive. Until then, people or animals took over. Next to the bridge you will find an information board and a little further on an old locomotive.
