Raves (French pronunciation:[ʁav]ⓘ) is acommune in theVosgesdepartment inGrand Est in northeasternFrance.
The earliest surviving record of the village comes from a document of 1329 in which it is called Rayves.
Raves during theancien regime period fell under thebailiwick ofSaint-Dié. There is a small chapel in the village dedicated to St Stephen, but there is no church: forMass, the commune shares the church atBertrimoutier. The presbytery and the cemetery are shared in the same way as, until the end of the nineteenth century, was the school.
Under the administrative settlement established after theFrench Revolution, the commune came under the canton ofBertrimoutier. The present administrative framework is based on the one established some ten years later underNapoleon I.
