DomrŽmy-la-Pucelle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Country: France
Region: Lorraine
Department: Vosges
Arrondissement: Neufch‰teau
Canton: Coussey
Intercommunality: Pays de Jeanne

DomrŽmy-la-Pucelle is a commune in the Vosges department in Lorraine in northeastern France. The village, originally named DomrŽmy, is the birthplace of Joan of Arc. It has since been renamed DomrŽmy-la-Pucelle after Joan's nickname, la Pucelle d'OrlŽans (''the Maid of OrlŽans'').
Geography
DomrŽmy is positioned along the upper Meuse valley to the north of Coussey. The village land includes a small wooded hill to the west of the houses, which rises to a height of 407 m, known as the DomrŽmy Wood. This overlooks the small adjacent settlement of Les Roises.
History
This village was exempted from taxes in 1429 by Charles VII, the French claimant to the throne. Joan of Arc had requested this, as she felt that taxes exploited her villagers. Moreover, Charles wished to do a good deed for her successful efforts in fighting the English during the Hundred Years' War. However after the French Revolution DomrŽmy was required to pay taxes.
