It can be accessed by road D1075 from Saint-Denis-en-Bugey in the north which runs south through the heart of the commune and continues past Charveyron. There is also road D408 coming from the west, crossing the D1075 and continuing to the village then south to Vaux-en-Bugey. There are a number of small country roads in the commune. The commune consists mostly of farmland with forest to the west and particularly in the east. A railway runs through the commune from Saint-Denis-en-Bugey to Lagnieu in the south.[3]

Le Buizin stream runs north through the commune and the village to join the Albarine river to the north.[3]
