geography

The municipality of Saint-Oulph is located on the Seine , 30 kilometers northwest of Troyes and about 100 kilometers east of the metropolitan area of Paris . The Seine meanders strongly here and is accompanied in its wide alluvial forest by several watercourses, oxbow lakes and the Canal de la Haute Seine , which is still of touristic importance. In contrast to the humid Seine valley is the northeastern adjoining Champagne sèche , the "dry Champagne", which is characterized by large fields and does not allow viticulture. The terrain of the 10.94 km² community is mostly flat. In the northwest, the municipality borders on the Marne department . Saint-Oulph is surrounded by the neighboring municipalities of Étrelles-sur-Aube in the north, Longueville-sur-Aube in the northeast, Méry-sur-Seine in the southeast, Châtres in the southwest and Clesles in the west.
