This quiet valley has a very busy past made of many battles, fires, wars.

Germagnat is bounded on the south by the ancient village of Arnans, the village of Chavannes-sur-Suran in the Suran valley and on the Nivigne mountain.

To the west, the village of Germagnat is bounded by the Nivigne ridge, the hamlet of Dalles in the commune of Pouillat, and the ridge of Montpetit hill.

In the north, Germagnat is surrounded by the Monts de Germagnat, and the shores of Sapinet and the "On the Knight", on which were still recently two bollards planted in 1555.

To the east, the chain of Bouvans and Renardières surround Germagnat, as well as the village of Aromas in the Jura.
