Auris (French pronunciation: [oʁis]) is a commune in the Isère department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France.
The commune is rugged with alpine terrain and a large forest to the west of the village (La Forêt).
[3] The Romanche river forms the southern border of the commune as it flows west to the Barrage du Clapier – an artificial lake on the southern border of the commune – then continues west then north to eventually join the Drac at Jarrie.
The Venéon river flows from the south through the south-western extension of the commune to join the Romanche there.
