There are many statues of Joan of Arc in various towns and villages in France but this is the one in the middle of Orleans. The last time I photographed it, there was a funfair. Perhaps you remember. I’ve copied the photo below.
Il y a beaucoup de statue de Jeanne d’Arc dans différents villages et villes en France mais celle-ci se trouve au centre d’Orléans. La dernière fois que je l’a photographie, il y avait une fête foraine. J’ai recopié la photo ci-dessous.

I saw and admired the gilded one several times as the Tour de France whizzed around the last laps in Paris. There she has, apparently, lost her halo.
Maybe she wasn’t as saint when she was in Orléans :). The Chinon castle has a very extensive collection. http://www.aussieinfrance.com/2013/03/the-many-faces-of-joan-of-arc/.
I think she’s best on her own rather than surrounded by temporary clutter.
I quite agree!
