Chasse-sur-Rhône (French pronunciation: [ʃas syʁ ʁon], literally Chasse on Rhône) is a commune in the Isère department in southeastern France.

The St. Joan of Arc Chapel, where Joan of Arc reputedly visited and prayed at the chapel on 9 March 1429 after meeting King Charles VII of France was originally built in Chasse-sur-Rhône, before being dismantled and transported to the United States, where it was rebuilt, in 1927.^[3]
