Arreux () is a commune in the Ardennes department in the Grand Est region of northern France.

The commune has been awarded one flower by the National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom.

Geography

Arreux is located in a hilly area on the edge of The Ardennes some 9 km north-west of Charleville-Mézières and 3 km east by south-east of Renwez. Access to the commune is by road D22 from Montcornet in the west passing through the village and continuing east to Nouzonville. The D22 also forms the south-eastern border of the commune. Some two thirds of the commune is heavily forested - especially in the east, with some farmland around the village.

The Ruisseau du Fond d'Arreux forms the north eastern and north-western border of the commune as it flows around the commune and then away to the south-west. A stream rises south of the village and flows north to join the Ruisseau du Fond d'Arreux.

Toponymy
