Unlike the fame of "La Pucelle" [Joan of Arc] who is said to have been baptised in it, the font at Domremy is a forgettable affair: the octagonal basin has a rounded underbowl that connects with a chamfer and a splaying pedestal base, all octagonal and plain. Wooden font cover, octagonal and plain, modern. Some of the panels of the font show signs of cracks and considerable damage.
