Dancevoir (French pronunciation: [dɑ̃səvwaʁ]) is a commune in the Haute-Marne department in north-eastern France.

History

[edit]

Dancevoir is named in Le Conscrit des cent villages, a poem of Louis Aragon, written as an act of intellectual Resistance clandestinely in spring 1943, during the Second World War.

The maternal grandmother of American scientist Bill Nye originated from the commune.[3] Illustrator Danièle Bour currently resides in Dancevoir with her husband.
