I visited the site where Joan of Arc was burned for heresy at Vieux-Marché in Rouen.
It was a short stop on the way and unless you're a real history buff, I wouldn't say that this place is a must see on any France itinerary. Nevertheless, I was glad to see it. Joan of Arc is a symbol for following ones destiny. She was from a small village and rose to prominence when she was a teenager. She was just a simple, uneducated peasant. She had a divine calling that she filled without question. We must all find that purpose, that divine calling. Follow our feet and never look back. No matter what the cost.
