1. Statue de Jeanne d’Arc / Statue of Joan of Arc Marker
Commanditée par l’Académie Nationale de Reims et présentée au Salon en 1895 par Paul Dubois, cette statue équestre commémore l’arrivée de Jeanne d’Arc à Reims pour le sacre de Charles VII, le 17 juillet 1429. Celui-ci confère au roi sa légitimité, prélude à la fin de la Guerre de 100 ans.
Implantée face au portail occidental de la cathédrale, la statue échappe aux bombardements de la 1ʳᵉ Guerre mondiale.
Célèbre au moment où Jeanne d’Arc est canonisée (1920), ce modèle est reproduit à Paris, Strasbourg, Washington D.C.

Joan of Arc (c. 1412 – 30 May 1431) is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years' War. Stating that she acted under divine guidance, she became a military leader who gained recognition as a savior of France.(Submitted on August 13, 2026, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
