Juvanzé
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juvanzé, postal code 10140, is a small, isolated hamlet with about 20 houses and a population of about 38 full-time residents, with upwards to about 50 residents in total during the summers when the mainly-Parisien second-home owners flock to its quiet tranquility with their families. Juvanzé is located in the Aube department of the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. Originally called "Jouvanzé", this village, situated between Unienville and Trannes, has traces dating back to the High Middle Ages, as evident in a Medieval statue (the original statue recently moved to the Louvre Museum in Paris) adorning the river side bank housed by a very small stone chapel.
The current mayor of Juvanzé is M. Gérard Gaucher, elected in 2001 and serving a 7-year mandate which will terminate in 2008. Juvanzé is subject to typically harsh winters, with temperatures occasionally falling to -20° Celsius, while in the summertime temperatures can reach an almost-blistering 40°C. Juvanzé supplies its own electrical power thanks to a hydroelectric generator built on the river. Juvanzé is home to many domestic farm animals providing the residents with such nourishment as meat, milk, and eggs.
