Auvelais
Auvelais is a small town in the province of Namur in Belgium. The town lies in a meander of the River Sambre.
The town of Auvelais was formed in 1809 from the merger of Auvelais-la-Comté and Auvelais-le-Voisin. From the merger of municipalities in 1977, Auvelais became the principal part of the newly-created municipality of Sambreville.
