Avreuil (French pronunciation: [avʁœj]) is a commune in the Aube department in the Grand Est region of north-central France.

Geography

Avreuil is located some 30 km south by south-west of Troyes and 10 km west of Chaource. Access to the commune is by road D23 from Chamoy in the north which passes through the heart of the commune and the village and continues south to Bernon. The D58 road passes through the north of the commune connecting roads D122 and D27. The D171 goes west from the village to Davrey. Apart from the village there are the hamlets of Les Basses-Voies, Les Teignes, and Les Bordes. There is a large forest in the south (the Bois de Ruelles) and a forest called Les Saulons in the north with the rest of the commune farmland.^[3]

The Armance river flows through the north of the commune from east to west where it continues to join the Armançon at Saint-Florentin. The Landion flows through the centre of the commune and the village from east to west and joins the Armance just west of the commune. The Tremagne forms the north-eastern border of the commune as it flows south to join the Armance on the eastern border.^[3]
