Access to the commune is by road D101 from Bergères in the west passing through the commune and the village and continuing east to join the D12 west of Longchamp-sur-Aujon. The D12 forms most of the southern border of the commune as it goes from Champignol-lez-Mondeville to Longchamp-sur-Aujon. The D70 road also passes south through the west of the commune from Baroville in the north to Champignol-lez-Mondeville in the south-west. The east of the commune is heavily forested with forests in the south-west and north-west as well. The rest of the commune is farmland.[3]
