Geography

Vignacourt, located between Paris and Lille, has been attached to the Hauts-de-France region since 2016. Previously, Picardy was divided into three departments: Somme, Aisne, and Oise. The Somme is bordered by the sea to the west, Pas-de-Calais to the north, the Aisne to the east, and the Oise department to the south.

The area of the municipality covers just over 29 km², and the A16 motorway is located in the south of the territory. The construction of this highway dates back to the 1990s and was the subject of preventive archaeological excavations.

The Roman road, the Brunehaut causeway, which formerly linked Amiens to Boulogne, also crossed the forest and the south of the municipality.

The railroad ran northeast of the village, near the grain elevator. After the war, rail traffic was reduced to freight transport until it reached a complete standstill.
