Arpheuilles-Saint-Priest is located some 14km (09miles) south-east of Montluçon and some 8km (05miles) south-west of Commentry. Access to the commune is by the D69 road from Durdat-Larequille in the north-east passing through the village and continuing south-east to Ronnet. The D1089 branches off the D69 just north-west of the village and continues south-west to Marcillat-en-Combraille.
