Janvilliers (in French pronounced as /ʒɑ̃vilje/) is a commune in the Marne department in north-eastern France.

Janvilliers is not the setting for Sebastian Faulks' 1989 novel The Girl at the Lion d'Or. Although Faulks' novel is largely set in a town called Janvilliers, descriptions of the town in the book indicate that it is situated on the Atlantic Coast in Brittany.[2]
