Domrémy-la-Pucelle is a village and commune of the Vosges département, in Lorraine, France. Population (1999): 167.

It was the birthplace of Joan of Arc. Initially called Domrémy, the place has been renamed Domrémy-la-Pucelle after Joan's nickname, la pucelle d'Orléans ("the maid of Orléans).This village was exempted from taxes in 1429 by king Charles VII Joan of Arc's only request for her help in ridding France of the English. However after the French revolution Domremy was required to pay taxes.
