Amance (French pronunciation: [amɑ̃s] ) is a commune in the Aube department in the Grand Est region of north-central France.
Amance is located some 30 km east of Troyes and 10 km south of Brienne-le-Chateau. It can be accessed from Brienne-le-Chateau and Dienville in the north by road D443 which runs south to the village then through the heart of the commune south to Vendeuvre-sur-Barse. The road D112 also goes south-east to Vauchonvilliers and the D18 road goes east to Jessains.
The commune consists of farmland in the east but is heavily forested in the west to about 50% of its area. Apart from the village there is also the hamlet of La Ville aux Bois south-west of the village.
The Amance River runs through the village to the north into the Canal d'Amenee and forms part of the western boundary of the commune. A few small streams flow into it. [3]
In 1825 Amance absorbed La Ville-aux-Bois-lès-Vendeuvre which should not be confused with La Ville-aux-Bois commune also in the Aube.
