Joan of Arc, nicknamed "the Maid of Orléans," is one of the most emblematic figures in French history. Born around 1412 in Domrémy-la-Pucelle, a small village in Lorraine, she played a crucial role during the Hundred Years' War, a major conflict between France and England that lasted from 1337 to 1453.

The GR®703 is particularly significant as it allows hikers to immerse themselves in the history of Joan of Arc while discovering the beauty of the French landscapes.
