Vandières is a small village in the Marne region of France off the N3 road between Château-Thierry and Épernay. Take the D380 north from the N3 which heads towards Reims. Then take the D1 east. Vandières is north of this road. Vandieres Churchyard will be found in the village behind the school and Mairie and the War Graves are immediately to the left on entering the churchyard.
