Geography
Villiers-Herbisse is located at the intersection of the Route Départementale 10 and the Route Départementale 198. North is the village of Semoine and south the village of Herbisse. The Herbissonne, a small stream 14 km long, ends in the Aube and has its origin in Villiers-Herbisse.

History
The village is called Villiers-sur-Herbisse until the 18th Century when it becomes Villiers-Herbisse. Louis de Clermont d'Amboise, marquis de Reynel, died there on November 3, 1615 after a memorable military charge.
