Chinon
Chinon is a commune located in the Indre-et-Loire department in the Region Centre, France. The regional area is called the Touraine, which is known as the "garden of France".
History
On 6 March 1429, the 17-year-old Jeanne d'Arc, and her entourage including Gabriel Laxart and Jean de Metz, came to Chinon to meet and to acknowledge the Dauphin Charles VII as the rightful heir to the throne. After the future king was convinced by his clergymen and a letter from Robert de Baudricourt, she was allowed an audience. Entering the courtyard of Coudray Tower they dismounted and Jeanne was approached by Antoine Moreau, who proposed she sleep with him. Proclaiming that "[his] words offend[ed] God", she foretold his demise. Making their way through the courtyard of the second main fortress, Château du Milieu, Gabriel admired the garden. Gabriel, nervous at the prospect of meeting the Dauphin, was comforted by Jeanne.[1]
