Joan of Arc has long been used in advertising and propaganda, it seems, and not always successfully… 'Objet de réclame et de propagande' - <https://www.larep.fr/orleans-45000/actualites/objet-de-reclame-et-de-propagande_1152720/> : « Avec quelques ratés : les laxatifs orléanais Jeanne d'Arc ont disparu, la 'Brûlerie Jeanne d'Arc' aurait vite été rebaptisée 'Cafés Jeanne d'Arc', quant à la 'Rôtisserie Jeanne d'Arc', rue de Bourgogne, elle a fait long feu. » Joan of Arc laxatives no longer exist, the Joan of Arc (Coffee) Roastery has been renamed Joan of Arc Cafés, and the Joan of Arc Rotisserie… misfired.
