A French warship is in the city for a peaceful mission to bring books to school children. The helicopter carrier Jeanne D'Arc arrived at Pier 92 on the West Side this morning. Its crew is being welcomed by a performance from Bronx middle school students. Jeanne D'Arc will be delivering around 10,000 books, many in French.

The ship leaves the city next Wednesday to deliver books in Brazil.
