Vouziers is a town and commune of the Ardennes département, in northern France. The inhabitants are named Vouzinois.

[edit] Geography

The Aisne is the river of Vouziers, doubled by a part of the "canal des Ardennes".

The town lies between the Forest of Argonne, the pre-Ardennes, and Champagne, and near the Ardennes Massif (dense woodland). It is not far from Charleville-Mézières, Sedan (the largest medieval castle in Europe), Rocroi, Reims (where the kings of France were crowned), Châlons-en-Champagne, and Varennes-en-Argonne (where Louis XVI was arrested during the French Revolution).
