geography

Thaas is located 15 kilometers southeast of Sézanne and about 50 kilometers northwest of Troyes on the Superbe , a tributary of the Aube in the western part of the Champagne sèche , the "dry Champagne", also known as "lousy Champagne" ( Champagne pouilleuse ). The Canal de la Noue de Barbara , which partially forms the eastern municipal boundary of Thaas, runs parallel to the Superbe . The area is characterized by the lack of forests, apart from small remains of alluvial forest, and by rolling hills covered by large fields. Thaas is surrounded by the neighboring communities of Chichey in the north, Gaye in the east, La Chapelle-Lasson in the southeast (point of contact), Villeneuve-Saint-Vistre-et-Villevotte in the south, Barbonne-Fayel in the west and Saudoy in the northwest.
