The modern church Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc and the adjacent market halls were designed by the architect Louis Arretche,[3] who was commissioned in 1969.

[4] The sweeping curves of the structure are meant to evoke both the flames that consumed Joan of Arc and an overturned longship.

The market halls simultaneously resemble smaller overturned boats and fish with gaping mouths, which are also rich Christian symbols.
