Vouziers is a town and commune of the Ardennes département, in northern France. The inhabitants are named Vouzinois. Vouziers is the burial place of the First World War fighter ace Roland Garros, from whom the tennis location is named. The town was on the path of totality for the Solar eclipse of August 11, 1999, where it hosted a major observation event. Because of its proximity to the Belgian border, it was gridlocked by visiting Belgian cars on the morning of the eclipse. [edit] GeographyThe Aisne is the river of Vouziers, doubled by a part of the "canal des Ardennes". The town lies between the Forest of Argonne, the pre-Ardennes, and Champagne, and near the Ardennes Massif (dense woodland). It is not far from Charleville-Mézières, Sedan (the largest medieval castle in Europe), Rocroi, Reims (where the kings of France were crowned), Châlons-en-Champagne, and Varennes-en-Argonne (where Louis XVI was arrested during the French Revolution).
