The village is located 640 meters above sea level, West of the Causse du Larzac, which is 100 or 200 meters higher. The plateau in the region of Le Clapier, which dates from the Sinemurian age, is very stony and has many low walls and heaps of stones, hence the name as "clapier" is a French word for an accumulation of stones in Occitania. Along the slope of Larzac is a thick layer of black marlstones which date from the Toarcian age. It is streaked due to linear erosion and marl may be found in the local prairies. The edge of Larzac is made of large white limestone cliffs dating from the Bathonian age. The marls are rich in fossils of marine animals such as Ammonoidea and Belemnoidea. Also, the valley of the Sorgue close to Larzac reveals sediments dating as far back as the Cambrian Series 2. The village is located on the Mediterranean side of the Atlantic and Mediterranean watershed.
