Auflance is a commune in the Ardennes department and Grand Est region of north-eastern France.
Auflance is located on the frontier of Belgium along its eastern border some 38 km east by south-east of Sedan and 17 km north-west of Montmédy. Access to the commune is by the D17 road from Puilly-et-Charbeaux in the north-west which passes through the centre of the commune and the village and continues to Sapogne-sur-Marche in the south-east. A small country road crosses the Belgian border and goes to Villers-Devant-Orval. The commune is mixed forest and farmland.[2]
The Marche river forms the south-eastern border of the commune as it flows south-west to join the Chiers near Margut. The Paquis river passes through the centre of the commune from north-west to south-east where it joins the Marche on the border of the commune. The Coquerte flows from the north in the west to the commune to join the Paquis.[2]
