Aulnois is a Belgian village in the Walloon province of Hainaut, and a part of the municipality of Quévy.[1]

Aulnois was an independent municipality until the municipal reorganisation of 1977. The village is on the border with France and on a 96 km long railway line, with a railway station that used to serve as a border station.

History

The village is intersected by the Chaussée Brunehaut, an important roadway between Cologne and Bavay that dates back to Roman times. Coins from the Roman and Franconian times were found around Aulnois.
