Royal Quarters, Forteresse Royal de Chinon. 37500 Chinon, Indre-et-Loire, France

From the Explore France™ website:
Overlooking the River Vienne, the Royal Fortress of Chinon was built by the Count of Blois, Thibaut I, and serves as a reminder of the period when the history of France and that of England were intimately linked. In 1429, in the grand lodge room, the historic meeting took place between Joan of Arc and the future king Charles VII.
Indeed, it was in Chinon in 1427, during the Hundred Years War, that the court of King Charles VII was first established. In March 1429, it was here that Joan of Arc came to see the future monarch in order to assure him of his legitimacy and to convince him to be crowned in Reims.
