Jeantes (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃t]) is a commune in the Aisne department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

History[edit]

It has been concluded that the area was occupied during the Gallic and Gallo-Roman times due to remains found nearby. The names "Jantha" or "Janta-Curtis" were used during the 12th century. In the 17th century, under the lordship of the Clairfontaine Abbey, the village (at the time named "Jeante-la-Ville") belonged to the Counts of Apremont until the French Revolution.
