Several locations associated with Joan of Arc still exist, including the house where she was born, at Domrémy-la-Pucelle.
Joan of Arc did not come from a place called Arc, but was born and raised in the village of Domrémy in what was then the northeastern frontier of the Kingdom of France.
The grouping is named after Joan of Arc, who was born at Domrémy-la-Pucelle around 1412, and who has been an iconic figure in France ever since her popular rediscovery as part of the surge in nationalism that France, along with the most of the rest of Europe, experienced during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
His first success in literature was La France delivrée par la Pucelle d'Orléans, a poem about Joan of Arc which obtained a prize of the Académie des Jeux Floraux.
Bachaumont noted, in his Mémoires (5 May 1770) that "the Duke of Villars was taxed with a vice that he had made fashionable at court, and that had brought him very wide renown, as can be seen in la Pucelle".
He published some poetry (Le palais des plaisirs) and a Letter to Erastus in which he took up the defense of the unfortunate epic La Pucelle of Jean Chapelain.
Elected to the Académie française in 1927 (replacing Robert de Flers in seat 5), in Lorraine he became president of the Association des Amis du berceau de Jeanne d'Arc on the death of Lyautey - the Association organised mass demonstrations in Domrémy from 1937 to 1939 under the aegis of the Compagnons de Jeanne d'Arc.
