Us is a commune in the Val-d'Oise department and Île-de-France region of France.
The village lies in a rural setting in the valley of the River Viosne, some 40 km north-west of Paris, within the Vexin Regional Nature Park. The commune is bordered by those of Ableiges, Marines, Santeuil, and Vigny. The nearest shopping centre is at Marines.
Us has a railway station on the line from Gisors to Pontoise and Paris (Gare Saint-Lazare).
The town has a preschool. In 2016 it asked for donations to the school on Facebook.
Us is located next to a village called Marines. In the surrounding area, both villages are indicated with signs showing both names listed, which reads as "US MARINES". A regular joke in the region is to make people believe that these signs indicate a nearby U.S Marine Corps base.
