Joan's job was to command the French army, that is, to lead, direct, and most
importantly, inspire it to fight and defeat the English invaders. She had help from some great French military commanders, like Count Dunois, the Duke D' Alencon, and Captain La Hire, but it was Joan who often insisted that the French attack, when these very commanders wished to do nothing but wait for reinforcements.
One of Joan of Arc's greatest quotes was, "Have good spurs! All of You!" Her
commanders asked her, do you mean for us to retreat? And Joan yelled, "No!
Chase them! For that you'll need good spurs!" This resulted in the famous Battle of Patay, in which the English were soundly defeated in an open field battle as they were retreating toward Paris, with over 2000 men killed and one of their commanders, Lord William Talbot, captured. This was on June 18th, 1429. The commander, Lord John Fastolf, was cited for cowardice in retreating
before the enemy in this battle and lost his order of the garter.
Until her late teens, Joan was a simple peasant girl who helped her parents around home and at the family farm. She later became the leader of the French army who turned the tide of the Hundred years War in favor of the French.
Joan of Arc was a soldier and the supreme commander of the French army. She was also a devoted servant of God.
St. Joan of Arc's lead troops into battle. Her "job" was a general of sorts.
When Joan was a youngster she helped her parents on the family farm near Domremy, France. At the age of 17 she became a member of the French army. She had no other occupation or career.
Before she entered the army she was a simple peasant girl who helped her parents around their small farm in France. She went on to become a soldier and commander in the French army.
Before she became a military leader in the French army, she was a simple peasant farmer on her father's farm in Domremy, France.
Joan of arc's brothers' names were Pierre, Jacqumine and Jean
Faith, purity, loyalty were here greatest traits.
Rheims (l429) and Orleans ( same year) are her best known campaigns. there was a poem about Joan of Arc which unfortunately had a rhythmic quality that suggested the upbeat song- Happy Days are Here again- and there were various towns mentioned in the song- not necessarily battle sites. Tours, Arles and Domremy ( her home town) reply- and Joan of Arc goes riding by- it sounds TOO much like ( Happy Days are Here Again!)
It has been suggested (Charlie) which may have honored her Patron, King Charles Vii. That"s Charles the seventh. it is easy to remember- as the word Charles has seven letters. Charles was married once, and also had a mistress Agnes Sorel, who had an elaborate state funeral, quite unlike Joan. about a year ago the body of Agnes Sorel was disinterred and an autopsy was performed. I kid you not. a Girl who has been dead for over 500 years!- and not an Egyptian mummy, either.
Joan of Arc is the correct spelling, not Joan of Ark.

Arc de Triomph, Joan of Arc and Les Arcs the French Alps

In Orleans, France, there is a month long celebration including a huge parade. Joan liberated Orleans may 8th, 1429. So the parade and celebration is around that date. Other cities in France have parades and less elaborate ways to celebrate Joan of Arc. Almost all towns, small and large have statues of Joan of Arc. The previous answer that French people go to church is wrong.
Initially, before she became a military leader, she was working on her father's farm. Later she became a leader and strategist in the French army.
