Feast and Revival of Social Life in Orleans after 1429 In historiography, Orleans first appears as the town of the siege, as Joan of Arc’s town. It then becomes the symbol of resistance and of triumph in face of the enemy from Across the Channel. This image is true but also reductionist. The episode, however grandiose, in fact only lasted a very short time. At its peak in the 14th and 15th centuries, the capital of the Loire played a decisive political and military role as Paris’ true protective lock.
