Channes (French pronunciation: [ʃan]) is a commune in the Aube department in north-central France.

History

[edit | edit source]
  • Channes is mentioned in 1151 as Chaunnes in a charter of Quincy Abbey, then in 1219 as Cheonnaium in a cartulary of Molesme Abbey, and in 1381 as Chaonnes (fealty and homage rendered by several lords; the current name "Channes" appears from the 17th century).

A bailiff appointed by Molesme Abbey administered justice in the 17th and 18th centuries.

"On December 26, 1790, Calmelet, parish priest of Channes, blessed an iron cross at the edge of the village, on the road to Riceys... The entire parish was in procession, and the ceremony was conducted with all the solemnity required on such occasions and with great piety and reverence..."
