Ambleny (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃bləni]) is a commune in the department of Aisne in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France.
Geography
[edit | edit source]Ambleny is located 8 km west of Soissons and 20 km east of Compiègne. Route National N31 passes through the northern part of the commune between those two cities with an exit to the D943 road which runs south to the town. The D17 road also runs from Fontenoy in the north to the town then continues south to Coeuvres-et-Valsery. The D1631 road also runs from the town southeast to join the D94 road at the southern tip of the commune. There are a number of hamlets in addition to the town: Le Soulier, Montaigu, Hignieres, and Le Rollet. The northern part of the commune is mixed forest and farmland while the southern portion is entirely farmland.[2]
The Ru de Retz waterway forms part of the south-western boundary of the commune before flowing north through the town and continuing to the river Aisne just north of the commune as it flows west to join the Oise at Compiègne. The Quenneton stream joins the Ru de Retz south of the town at the commune boundary from the west.[2]
