Stonne (French pronunciation: [stɔn]) is a commune in the Ardennes department in northern France.

Stonne is a village, consisting of a handful of farmsteads, that was heavily contested during the German invasion of France in the Second World War.

[citation needed] On 13–14 May 1940, German tanks crossed the River Meuse under the command of General Heinz Guderian.

The town switched sides 17 times in the course of the Battle of Stonne: At first the French tanks were used in an infantry support and defensive role.

A single B1bis tank (Lieutenant Bilotte's "Eure") pushed into the town itself, into the German defences, and then withdrew after attacking two German columns and reportedly destroying two Panzer IV tanks, 11 Panzer IIIs and two 3.7 cm PaK 36 anti-tank guns.
