France erected the statue in 1972 as a gift to New Orleans, whose namesake, Orléans, was one of the towns Joan of Arc (1412-1431) defended from the English during the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). In just over a year, this teenager led troops in 13 different battles and sieges, and captured more than 30 cities. The statue displays Joan in a determined, victorious pose, carrying her custom-made banner, which depicted God holding the world with two angles. In addition, there were the words “Jesus Maria.”
