Geography

Auboncourt-Vauzelles is located some 38 km south-west of Charleville-Mézières and 16 km north-east of Rethel. The A34 autoroute passes through the north-west of the commune but the nearest exit is Exit 14 some 6 km north of the commune. Access to the commune is by the D 951 road from Novy-Chevrières in the south-west which passes through the north-west of the commune and the hamlet of Vauzelles as it goes north to join the A34 autoroute at Exit 14. The D 14 road comes from Corny-Machéroménil in the north-west which passes through Vauzelles and the centre of the commune before continuing south to Faux. Access to the village is by small roads that run off the D 14 - the Chemin d'Auboncourt and the Chemin de la Fontaine. The commune is entirely farmland except for the fringe of the Bois d'Auboncourt forest in the north-east.[3]

The Ruisseau de Saulces flows through the east of the commune and the village from north to south-east and continues to join the Aisne south of Amagne.[3]
