Migné-Auxances () is a commune in the Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France.
==History== thumb|left|Apparition of a cross on December 17, 1826 On 17 December 1826, the village of Migné witnesses the appearance of a luminous cross in the sky, in front of more than 2000 people gathered on the occasion of the planting of a cross in the village cemetery. Standing about fifty meters above the ground, lying in the direction of the West, about forty yards in length, it was visible from 17:00 to 17:30. Its presence was predicted seven years before its appearance by the abbot Suffrant (1755-1828), parish priest of Maumusson (Loire-Inferieure) and an ecclesiastic M. Vrindts.
