Méditation sur la politique de Jeanne d'Arc (Meditation on the Politics of Joan of Arc) is a book by French journalist and politician Charles Maurras published in 14 February 2025.
During the Thalamas affair or the campaign to establish the Joan of Arc Day as a national holiday, Maurras rarely expressed views "on the character and royalism of the Maid".
