Geography

Aouste is located some 35 km south-east of Hirson and 40 km west by north-west of Charleville-Mézières. Access is by the D36 road from La Férée in the south passing through the village then continuing east to Prez. The D27 road also comes from Rumigny in the west passing through the commune south of the village and continuing to Marlemont in the south-east.

The Aube river passes through the commune from the east and flows through the village before continuing west to join the Ton at Hannappes. The Ruisseau de Laval d'Estrebay flows from the north forming part of the northern border to join the Aube on the western border. There is also the Ruisseau du Moulin Veron which flows from the south joining the Aube near the village. The Ruisseau de Gandlu flows from the south-east joining the Aube in the village.
