Aure (French pronunciation: ​[ɔʁ]) is a commune in the Ardennes department in the Grand Est region of north-eastern France.

Geography[]

Aure is located some 55 km east of Reims and some 20 km south by south-west of Vouziers. The western border of the commune is the border between Ardennes and Marne departments. Access to the commune is by road D6 from Manre in the south-east which passes through the village and continues south-west, changing to the D20 in Marne, to Sommepy-Tahure. The D306 goes north-east from the village to Monthois. The commune is entirely farmland.[3]

The Allin river rises near the village and flows south-east to eventually join the Aisne at Brécy-Brières.[3]

History[]

Aure is cited in a poem by Louis Aragon Le conscrit des cent villages (The conscript of 100 villages) written as an act of intellectual resistance in a clandestine manner in 1943.[4]
