"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you." This is Hemingway's praise for Paris in "A Moveable Feast."

As for Joan, this city was once an unattainable dream for her. Back then, she had led an army to the gates of Paris and launched an attack, but she had to retreat due to orders from the king.
In a way, her experience was somewhat similar to Yue Fei receiving 12 gold medals and being forced to return. Therefore, it was not surprising that their first stop was this city.
