Aingoulaincourt, commune in Haute-Marne, France
Aingoulaincourt is a small commune in northeastern France, located in Haute-Marne about 11 kilometers northeast of Joinville. The village consists of just a few houses scattered along quiet roads, surrounded by open fields and gentle hills with forests nearby.
The village has deep roots in French agricultural tradition, with farming forming the backbone of life for centuries. After 1999, Aingoulaincourt experienced slight population growth, yet it retained its rural character and traditional way of life.
The name Aingoulaincourt comes from old French, referring to land ownership and heritage. The village church of Saint-Rémy stands as a quiet landmark, and its bell still rings at certain times, shaping the rhythm of community life in a way locals have known for generations.
The village has no hotel, but nearby towns like Joinville and Saint-Dizier offer accommodations for visitors. Arriving by car is recommended, as public transport is limited, and the place is best explored on foot or by bicycle through country roads.
With only 13 residents, Aingoulaincourt is one of the smallest inhabited villages in the region, where everyone knows one another. Locals maintain old ways of life, tending small gardens and raising chickens and goats, giving the place an almost timeless quality.

France has some municipalities with extremely low populations, not exceeding 12 residents. These villages reflect the demographic shifts in rural France and provide insight into a lifestyle that has become rare. Rochefourchat in Drôme holds the record with just one inhabitant, while Aingoulaincourt in Haute-Marne has 11 residents spread over 510 hectares. These communities are spread across various regions, from Jura with Mérona and its eight residents to Alpes-de-Haute-Provence where Majastres is perched at 1,143 meters above sea level. In Drôme, La Bâtie-des-Fonds marks the source of the Drôme river at over 1,000 meters, while in Doubs, Châteauvieux-les-Fossés overlooks the Loue valley from its rocky promontory. There are also examples in the north, such as Épécamps in Somme with its red brick houses or Leménil-Mitry in Meurthe-et-Moselle.
