Saint-Vincent is situated at 575 mt. above sea level in slight depression on the mountainside that keeps it protected from the wind. It has a particularly mild climate.

The surrounding woodlands are ideal for walking and exploring, there are many small typical villages, full of traditional stone and wood architecture (Rascard), chapels, mater mills, and antique wine presses, many still in use.
