Barneville-la-Bertran is located north of the Pays d'Auge some 6 km south-west of Honfleur, 15 km south by south-east of Le Havre (across the Seine Estuary) and 10 km north-east of Deauville. Access to the commune is by the D62 from Pennedepie in the north which passes through the north of the commune and continues east to Équemauville.

The commune is mostly farmland.

On 6 November 1995 the commune of Barneville officially changed its name to Barneville-la-Bertran.[7]
