Balnot-sur-Laignes (French pronunciation: [balno syʁ lɛɲ]) is a commune in the Aube department in the Grand Est region of north-central France.
The commune has been awarded one flower by the National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom. [3]
Balnot-sur-Laignes is located some 35 km south-east of Troyes and 10 km south of Bar-sur-Seine. Access to the commune is by the D452 road from Polisy in the north which passes down the eastern side of the commune just east of the village and continues south to Les Riceys. The D26 comes from Neuville-sur-Seine in the east and passes through the village continuing south-west to Bagneux-la-Fosse. The D184 from Avirey-Lingey passes through the western arm of the commune going north-west to join the D36. The commune is farmland in the east and west with a belt of dense forest through the centre. [4]
The Laignes river forms the eastern border of the commune as it flows north to join the Seine at Polisy.
During the French Revolution the commune, which had been called Balnot-le-Châtel, changed its name to Balnot-sur-Laignes. [5]
