Vaux-Rouillac is a town in western Charente located 4 km south of Rouillac and 22 km west of Angouleme. It is located at the southern end of Canton Rouillac.
The village of Vaux is also 9 km northeast of Jarnac, 11 km northwest of Hiersac and 19 km east of Cognac.
Away from major roads, the town is bounded on the east by the D14 road to Rouillac Hiersac. The D736 Rouillac between Jarnac and passes northwest of the town. The village is served by the D66 and D119 which is the intersection.
The village of Vaux-Rouillac, built on the sides and bottom of the hill leading to the source of Garland, alone includes most of the population.
The highest part of the town to the north, the view stretches far and discovers almost entirely Township Jarnac, which shares a border town of Vaux.
Outside the village, the town has only a few minor villages: King-of-Vaux, on top of a hill; At Peutier, south of the town, near the Garland; the Brandes, at the edge of the town of Echallat; At drooling, etc..
The municipality occupies a limestone plateau that descends gently to the south, and which belongs to Portlandian (Upper Jurassic). Some deposits of clay and gravel of the Tertiary exist locally in the north of the town (Little Bird Stained) and east (the Brandes).
The stony ground is suitable principally for growing vines.
The relief of the town is quite hilly, mainly north and east. Some valleys converge south of the town and the small valley of Garland, as the Valley of Nauton north, or Combe Lamie southeast.
The highlight of the town is at an altitude of 169 m, quite exceptional in this part of the department, located at the north end of town (old windmill). The lowest point is 58 m, located along the garland at the southern end. The village is about 100 m.
South of the town is watered by the Garland, small stream coming out of a rich source, but dry in summer on a part of its course, at the bottom of the valley which gave its name to the town, and which flows into the Charente between St. Simon and Bassac.
A bakery is the only trade in the common agricultural and wine which has a brewery and a tiler.
