In the Vologne valley, between Lépanges and Docelles, Deycimont is built under the Recreux mountain. The brooks "la Bouillante" and "le Rupt du Void" go through the village. The two main hamlets which depend on Deycimont are "le Faing Vairel" and "la Haute Verrière".

We can found there several farms and a weaving factory, as in the whole region.
